Famous quotes containing the words national and/or committee:
“What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility ... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“Any committee that is the slightest use is composed of people who are too busy to want to sit on it for a second longer than they have to.”
