Adlai Stevenson II on age

Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.

An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
