More quotes by Adlai E. Stevenson
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 E. Stevenson

Adlai E. Stevenson
The journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step. So we must never neglect any work of peace within our reach, however small.
