“Stevenson had noble ideas--as did the young Franklin for that matter. But Stevenson felt that the way to implement them was to present himself as a thoughtful idealist and wait for the world to flock to him.

Some thought him too pure to desire power, though he showed ambition when it mattered.” PeopleWorldWayIdeasMatterWantedYoungDesireAsksFeltWaitingPureAmbitionNobleThoughtfulVotersFlocksFranklinIdealist Author:Garry Wills
