Adlai E. Stevenson Quotes

Some classics, from a great American Classic Statesman:


"Man is a strange animal. He generally cannot read the handwriting on the wall until his back is up against it. "


"Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. "



"The definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular."


"The hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning."




And there are many more than these. Honestly, I was inspired to do Adlai quotes today as I heard that last one on Meet The Press, today.
