We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present.
Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.
She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness, and her glow has warmed the world.
All Adlai Stevenson II quotes →
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
