Adlai Quotations

As a youngster, I had friends who became lawyers and doctors, and I was as idealistic as anybody. When I was in the Army, I read a book by Adlai Stevenson. He said law was as noble as saving a person's life. So at one point, I felt that way, too. But after a while, I said, 'Let me just finish the degree. I'm getting the G.I. Bill.'

It does not seem as though this will be an Adlai Stevenson moment. I think a lot of his evidence may be open to wide interpretation. Unless there's a huge surprise, it doesn't seem that the evidence provided will turn global opinion against Saddam.

A beauty is a woman you notice; A charmer is one who notices you. Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965)

It's a mixed bag. What was it that Adlai Stevenson said? I think he quoted Abraham Lincoln when he said it hurts too much to laugh, but I'm too old to cry. So it is a mixed bag like that.
