More Quotes from Walter Lippmann:
While the right to talk may be the beginning of freedom, the necessity of listening is what makes that right important.Walter Lippmann
Without order or authority in the spirit of man the free way of life leads through weakness, disorganization, self-indulgence, and moral indifference to the destruction of freedom itself. The tragic ordeal through which the Western world is passing was prepared in the long period of easy liberty, during which men ... forgot that their freedom was achieved by heroic sacrifice.... They forgot that their rights were founded on their duties.... They thought it clever to be cynical, enlightened to be unbelieving, and sensible to be soft.
Walter Lippmann
In the blood of the martyrs to intolerance are the seeds of unbelief.
