Max Lerner
A politician wouldn't dream of being allowed to call a columnist the things a columnist is allowed to call a politician
Max Lerner
Somehow life doesn't always pay off to those who are most insistent.
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
We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile. But we can die without it.
Max Lerner
We demand of our political life greater certainty and greater perfection than we demand of our personal life.
Max Lerner
Despite the success cult, men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there - or failing to get there.
Max Lerner
