It is neither the Plumed Knight nor the monstrous Robber Baron  (Max Lerner Quotes) The Seven Deadly Sins of the Press: - Concentrated Power of the Big Press. - Passing of competition and the coming of monopoly. - Governmental control of the press. - Timidity, especially in the face of group and corporate pressures. - Big Business mentality. - Clannishness among the newspaper publishers that has prevented them from criticizing each other. - Social blindness  (Max Lerner Quotes) Power politics existed before Machiavelli was ever heard of; it will exist long after his name is only a faint memory.

History is written by the survivors  (Max Lerner Quotes) Despite the success cult, men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there - or failing to get there  (Max Lerner Quotes) Either men will learn to live like brothers, or they will die like beasts  (Max Lerner Quotes) What counted was not the facts but the fears  (Max Lerner Quotes) A people’s speech is the skin of its culture  (Max Lerner Quotes) I am neither an optimist nor pessimist, but a possibilist  (Max Lerner Quotes) Man’s will creates the things that paralyze his brain and brutalize his heart  (Max Lerner Quotes) Small wars are always teetering on the brink of becoming big ones  (Max Lerner Quotes) It is almost as easy to be enervated by triumph as by defeat  (Max Lerner Quotes) The taste of democracy becomes a bitter taste when the fullness of democracy is denied  (Max Lerner Quotes) A world technology means either a world government or world suicide  (Max Lerner Quotes) To reject the word is to reject the human search  (Max Lerner Quotes) Somehow life doesn’t always pay off to those who are most insistent  (Max Lerner Quotes) The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence  (Max Lerner Quotes) To deaden yourself against any hurt is to deaden yourself also against the hurt of others  (Max Lerner Quotes) We all run on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. The other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living  (Max Lerner Quotes) God is what man finds that is divine in himself. It is the best way man can behave in the ordinary occasions of life, and the farthest point to which man can stretch himself  (Max Lerner Quotes) Of the many things we have done to democracy in the past, the worst has been the indignity of taking it for granted  (Max Lerner Quotes) The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man’s frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search  (Max Lerner Quotes) The best thing about lying in bed late is that you learn to distinguish between first things and trivia, for whatever presses on you has to prove its importance before it makes you move  (Max Lerner Quotes) We must face what we fear; that is the case of the core of the restoration of health  (Max Lerner Quotes) What is dangerous about tranquillizers is that whatever peace of mind they bring is a packaged peace of mind. Where you buy a pill and buy peace of mind with it, you get conditioned to cheap solutions instead of deep ones  (Max Lerner Quotes) There are some who become spies for money, or out of vanity and megalomania, or out of ambition, or out of a desire for thrills. But the malady of our time is of those who become spies out of idealism  (Max Lerner Quotes) God is what man finds that is divine in himself. God is the best way man can behave in the ordinary occasions of life, and the farthest point to which man can stretch himself  (Max Lerner Quotes) Next to the striking of fire and the discovery of the wheel, the greatest triumph of what we call civilization was the domestication of the human male  (Max Lerner Quotes)
