I offered my opponents a deal:
"If they stop telling lies about me,
I will stop telling the truth about them."
Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952

It is said that a woman called out to Adlai at a presidential campaign rally:
"Mr. Stevenson, you have won the vote of every thinking person in America."
Stevenson shot back: "That's not enough Madam. We need a majority."
