Famous quotes containing the words presidential and/or debate:

    “The Republican Vice Presidential Candidate ... asks you to place him a heartbeat from the Presidency.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    “Abject flattery and indiscriminate assentation degrade, as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust. But a modest assertion of one’s own opinion, and a complaisant acquiescence in other people’s, preserve dignity.”
