Adlai E. Stevenson
The time to stop a revolution is at the beginning, not the end.
Adlai E. Stevenson
Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale.
Adlai E. Stevenson
That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.
Adlai E. Stevenson
A hungry man is not a free man.
Adlai E. Stevenson
On the plains of hesitation lie the blackened bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory lay down to rest, and in resting died.
Adlai E. Stevenson
Some people approach every problem with an open mouth.
Adlai E. Stevenson
I'm not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.
Adlai E. Stevenson
Ignorance is stubborn and prejudice is hard.
Adlai E. Stevenson
There is a New America every morning when we wake up. It is upon us whether we will it or not.
Adlai E. Stevenson
All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions. All change is the result of a change in the contemporary state of mind.
