My quote store | Adlai Ewing Stevenson

When an American says that he loves his country, 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.
Let us talk sense to the American people. Let us tell them the truth, that there are no gains without pains.
Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale.
A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.
Nature is neutral. Man has wrested from nature the power to make the world a desert or to make the deserts bloom. There is no evil in the atom only in men's souls.
As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end.
There was a time when a fool and his money were soon parted, but now it happens to everybody.
Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.
In America, anybody can be president. That's one of the risks you take.
All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.
