Adlai E. Stevenson said this quote

To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation.

~ Adlai E. Stevenson

We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed, for our safety, to its security and peace. Preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and the love we give our fragile craft.

~ Adlai E. Stevenson

We must recover the element of quality in our traditional pursuit of equality. We must not, in opening our schools to everyone, confuse the idea that all should have equal chance with the notion that all have equal endowments.

~ Adlai E. Stevenson

Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.

~ Adlai E. Stevenson
