Top 5 quotes from Adlai Stevenson
"All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions."
"Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation."
"A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth."
"Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime."
"An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff."
Top 5 quotes from Freedom
"It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment, independence now and independence forever."
"The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing."
"A desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man."
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
"Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer."
