Most articles of clothing display a Stevenson quote. Look for these, and others, on upcoming items:

A free society is one in which it is safe to be unpopular.

I believe that if we really want human brotherhood to spread and increase until it makes life safe and sane, we must also be certain that there is no one true faith or path by which it may spread.

Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans.

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than the freedom to stagnate.

Communism is the corruption of a dream of justice.

In America, anybody can be president. That's one of the risks you take.

The elephant has a thick skin, a head full of ivory, and as everyone who has seen a circus parade knows, proceeds best by grasping the tail of its predecessor.

You will find that the truth is often unpopular and the contest between agreeable fancy and disagreeable fact is unequal. For, in the vernacular, we Americans are suckers for good news.

The time to stop a revolution is at the beginning, not the end.

The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal - that you can gather votes like box tops - is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.

I don't envy the driver and I don't think the American people will care to ride in his bus very far.
