Walter Lippmann Quotes


When all men think alike, no one thinks very much.

When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.

When men can no longer be theists, they must, if they are civilized, become humanists.

When philosophers try to be politicians they generally cease to be philosophers.

Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much.
