Additional quotes by Adlai Stevenson II

There are worse things than losing an election; the worst thing is to lose one's convictions and not tell the people the truth.

A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.

Someone asked me...how it felt and I was reminded of a story that a fellow townsman of ours used to tell — Abraham Lincoln. They asked him how he felt once after an unsuccessful election. He said he felt like a little boy who had stubbed his toe in the dark. He said that he was too old to cry, but it hurt too much to laugh.
