Speeches of Adlai Stevenson, with a Foreword by John Steinbeck, and a Brief Biography of Adlai Stevenson, by Debs Myers and Ralph Martin
Excerpt from Speeches of Adlai Stevenson: With a Foreword
As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the lawgivers and the law abiding, the beginning and the end. Democracy is a high privilege, but it is also a heavy responsibility whose shadow stalks, although you may never walk in the sun.
I say these things to you, not only because I believe them to be true, but also because, as you love your country, I love my country, and I would see it endure and grow in light and become a living testament to all mankind of goodness and of mercy and of wisdom.
