Adlai E. Stevenson
  • I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

  • Your days are short here this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came.

  • If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

  • Making peace is harder than making war.

  • That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.
