More quotes by Max Lerner

Max Lerner
Some of the more fatuous flag-waving Americans are in danger of forgetting that you can't extract gratitude as you would extract a tooth that unless friendship is freely given, it means nothing and less than nothing.
Max Lerner
God is what man finds that is divine in himself. It is the best way man can behave in the ordinary occasions of life, and the farthest point to which man can stretch himself.
Max Lerner
It is not the armed forces which can protect our democracy. It is the moral strength of democracy which alone can give any meaning to the efforts at military security.
Max Lerner
Small wars are always teetering on the brink of becoming big ones.
Max Lerner
Do not confuse your vested interests with ethics. Do not identify the enemies of your privilege with the enemies of humanity.
Max Lerner
