The radical novelty of modern...

The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief... that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

There is no arguing with the ...

There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the perennial temptation.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

The private citizen, beset by...

The private citizen, beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion, will soon see, perhaps, that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence, but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence.

We are quite rich enough to defend ourselves, whatever the cost. We must now learn that we are quite rich enough to educate ourselves as we need to be educated.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

Most men, after a little free...

Most men, after a little freedom, have preferred authority with the consoling assurances and the economy of effort it brings.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

No amount of charters, direct...

No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate people.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

The public interest may be presumed to be what men would choose if they saw clearly, thought rationally, acted disinterestedly and benevolently.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

When everyone thinks alike, n...

When everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

For in the absence of debate ...

For in the absence of debate unrestricted utterance leads to the degradation of opinion. By a kind of Greshams law the more rational is overcome by the less rational, and the opinions that will prevail will be those which are held most ardently by those with the most passionate will. For that reason the freedom to speak can never be maintained merely by objecting to interference with the liberty of the press, of printing, of broadcasting, of the screen. It can be maintained only by promoting debate.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

There can be no higher law in...

There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth and to shame the devil.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

Very few established institut...

Very few established institutions, governments and constitutions ...are ever destroyed by their enemies until they have been corrupted and weakened by their friends.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

What the public does is not t...

What the public does is not to express its opinions but to align itself for or against a proposal. If that theory is accepted, we must abandon the notion that democratic government can be the direct expression of the will of the people. We must abandon the notion that the people govern. Instead, we must adopt the theory that, by their occasional mobilizations as a majority, people support or oppose the individuals who actually govern. We must say that the popular will does not direct continuously but that it intervenes occasionally.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

We must remember that in time...

We must remember that in time of war what is said on the enemy's side of the front is always propaganda and what is said on our side of the front is truth and righteousness, the cause of humanity and a crusade for peace.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

Before you can begin to think...

Before you can begin to think about politics at all, you have to abandon the notion that there is a war between good men and bad men.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

Love endures when the lovers ...

Love endures when the lovers love many things together And not merely each other.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

What we call a democratic soc...

What we call a democratic society might be defined for certain purposes as one in which the majority is always prepared to put down a revolutionary minority.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

Once you touch the biographie...

Once you touch the biographies of human beings, the notion that political beliefs are logically determined collapses like a pricked balloon.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

There is nothing so good for ...

There is nothing so good for the human soul as the discovery that there are ancient and flourishing civilized societies which have somehow managed to exist for many centuries and are still in being though they have had no help from the traveler in solving their problems.

Walter Lippmann 336 quotes

Industry is a better horse to ride than genius.

It is perfectly true that that government is best which governs least. It is equally true that that government is best which provides most.
