Text Quotes
When everyone thinks the same, nobody is thinking  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) When all think alike, then no one is thinking  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) To understand is not only to pardon, but in the end to love  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Freedom to speak... can be maintained only by promoting debate.  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Industry is a better horse to ride than genius  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Art enlarges experience by admitting us to the inner life of others  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Democracy is much too important to be left to public opinion  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) In the blood of the martyrs to intolerance are the seeds of unbelief  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Ignore what a man desires and you ignore the very source of his power  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) It is so much easier to talk of poverty than to think of the poor  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) When everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The news and the truth are not the same thing  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) We are concerned in public affairs, but immersed in our private ones  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) But what is propaganda, if not the effort to alter the picture to which men respond, to substitute one social pattern for another  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Behind innocence there gathers a clotted mass of superstition, of twisted and misdirected impulse; clandestine flirtation, fads, and ragtime fill the unventilated mind  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Once you touch the biographies of human beings, the notion that political beliefs are logically determined collapses like a pricked balloon  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The justification of majority rule in politics is not to be found in its ethical superiority  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Popular government has not yet been proved to guarantee, always and everywhere, good government  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) We forge gradually our greatest instrument for understanding the world - introspection. We discover that humanity may resemble us very considerably - that the best way of knowing the inwardness of our neighbors is to know ourselves  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The unexamined life, said Socrates, is unfit to be lived by man. This is the virtue of liberty, and the ground on which we may justify our belief in it, that it tolerates error in order to serve truth  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The Bill of Rights does not come from the people and is not subject to change by majorities. It comes from the nature of things. It declares the inalienable rights of man not only against all government but also against the people collectively  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) I do not despise genius-indeed, I wish I had a basketful of it. But yet, after a great deal of experience and observation, I have become convinced that industry is a better horse to ride than genius. It may never carry any man as far as genius has carried individuals, but industry-patient, steady, intelligent industry-will carry thousands into comfort, and even celebrity; and this it does with absolute certainty  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Liberty may be an uncomfortable blessing unless you know what to do with it. That is why so many freed slaves returned to their masters, why so many emancipated women are only too glad to give up the racket and settle down. For between announcing that you will live your own life, and the living of it lie the real difficulties of any awakening  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) There is nothing disastrous in the temporary nature of our ideas. They are always that. But there may very easily be a train of evil in the self-deception which regards them as final. I think God will forgive us our skepticism sooner than our Inquisitions  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Once you touch the biographies of human beings, the notion that political beliefs are logically determined collapses like a pricked balloon.  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) What each man does is based not on direct and certain knowledge, but on pictures made by himself or given to him....The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do.  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) 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 Quotes) Here lay the political genius of Franklin Roosevelt: that in his own time he knew what were the questions that had to be answered, even though he himself did not always find the full answer.  (Walter Lippmann Quotes)
