However, he does regard it as a policy  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Corrupt, stupid grasping functionaries will make at least as big a muddle of socialism as stupid, selfish and acquisitive employers can make of capitalism  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) In making the great experiment of governing people by consent rather than by coercion, it is not sufficient that the party in power should have a majority. It is just as necessary that the party in power should never outrage the minority  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The effort to calculate exactly what the voters want at each particular moment leaves out of account the fact that when they are troubled the thing the voters most want is to be told what to want  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The writers who have nothing to say, are the ones you can buy, the others have too high a price  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) You don’t have to preach honesty to men with creative purpose. Let a human being throw the engines of his soul into the making of something, and the instinct of workmanship will take care of his honesty  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Modern men are afraid of the past. It is a record of human achievement, but its other face is human defeat  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) There can be no liberty for a community which lacks the means by which to detect lies  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) The prophecy of a world moving toward political unity is the light which guides all that is best, most vigorous, most truly alive in the work of our time  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) We know that it is possible to harness desire to many interests, that evil is one form of a desire, and not the nature of it  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Whereas each man claims his freedom as a matter of right, the freedom he accords to other men is a matter of toleration  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) In a democracy, the opposition is not only tolerated as constitutional, but must be maintained because it is indispensable  (Walter Lippmann Quotes) Successful... politicians are insecure and intimidated men.
