“It was always accounted a virtue in a man to love his country. With us it is now something more than a virtue. It is a necessity. When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“We hear the Secretary of State boasting of his brinkmanship—the art of bringing us to the edge of the abyss.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“Golf is a fine relief from the tensions of office, but we are a little tired of holding the bag.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
