Text Quotes
The smashing of idols is in itself such a preoccupation that it is almost impossible for the iconoclast to look clearly into a future when there will not be many idols left to smash  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) It is all very well to talk about being the captain of your soul. It is hard, and only a few heroes, saints, and geniuses have been the captains of their souls for any extended period of their lives  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Only the very rarest of princes can endure even a little criticism, and few of them can put up with even a pause in the adulation  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The essential discovery of maturity has little if anything to do with information about the names, the locations, and the sequence of facts; it is the acquiring of a different sense of life, a different kind of intuition about the nature of things  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The search for moral guidance which shall not depend upon external authority has invariably ended in the acknowledgment of some new authority  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The facts we see depend on where we are placed and the habits of our eyes  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Every man whose business it is to think knows that he must for part of the day create about himself a pool of silence  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Nothing is easier than to simplify life and them make a philosophy about it. The trouble is that the resulting philosophy is true only of that simplified life  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Whenever we accept an idea as authority instead of as instrument, an idol is set up. We worship the plough, and not the fruit  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The emancipated woman has to fight something worse than the crusted prejudices of her uncles; she has to fight the bewilderment in her own soul  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The true speech of man is idiomatic, if not of the earth and sky, then at least of the saloon and the bleachers  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The host of men who stand between a great thinker and the average man are not automatic transmitters. They work on the ideas; perhaps that is why a genius usually hates his disciples  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The people who really matter in social affairs are neither those who wish to stop short like a mule, or leap from crag to crag like a mountain goat  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Run against the grain of a nation’s genius and see where you get with your laws  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Ours is a problem in which deception has become organized and strong; where truth is poisoned at its source; one in which the skill of the shrewdest brains is devoted to misleading a bewildered people  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Whatever truth you contribute to the world will be one lucky shot in a thousand misses. You cannot be right by holding your breath and taking precautions  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The wiser a man is, it seems to me, the more vividly he can see the future as part of the evolving present. He doesn’t break the flow of life, he directs it, hastens it, but preserves its continuity  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Where two factions see vividly each its own aspect, and contrive their own explanations of what they see, it is almost impossible for them to credit each other with honesty  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) A more conscious life is one in which a man is conscious not only of what he sees, but of the prejudices with which he sees it  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) It is in time of peace that the value of life is fixed. The test of war reveals it  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) All men desire their own perfect adjustment, but they desire it, being finite men, on their own terms  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) There are at least two distinct selves, the public and regal self, the private and human  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Whether or not birth control is eugenic, hygienic, and economic, it is the most revolutionary practice in the history of sexual morals  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) A large plural society cannot be governed without recognizing that, transcending its plural interests, there is a rational order with a superior common law  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Usually it is the stereotyped shape assumed by an event at an obvious place that uncovers the run of the news  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The news is not a mirror of social conditions, but the report of an aspect that has obtruded itself  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) It is not the idea as such which the censor attacks, whether it be heresy or radicalism or obscenity. He attacks the circulation of the idea among the classes which in his judgment are not to be trusted with the idea  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Creative ideas come to the intuitive person who can face up to the insecurity of looking beyond the obvious  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) I demand from you in the name of your principles the rights which I shall deny to you later in the name of my principles  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Leaders are the custodians of a nation’s ideals, of the beliefs it cherishes, of its permanent hopes, of the faith which makes a nation out of a mere aggregation of individuals  (Walter Lippmann Quotes)
