More quotes by Max Lerner
We demand of our political life greater certainty and greater perfection than we demand of our personal life.
Max Lerner
There are almost no limits to the discoveries of how the human brain operates in illness and health, in sleep and waking and dreaming, in calm and under tension. The question is how far man can put these discoveries to use without using them not for cure but for power.
Max Lerner
To deaden yourself against any hurt is to deaden yourself also against the hurt of others.
Max Lerner

Max Lerner
Man's will creates the things that paralyze his brain and brutalize his heart.
Max Lerner

Max Lerner
American capitalism has been both overpraised and overindicted. It is neither the Plumed Knight nor the monstrous Robber Baron.
Max Lerner
I have a simple principle for the conduct of life- never to resist an adequate temptation.
Max Lerner
The taste of democracy becomes a bitter taste when the fullness of democracy is denied.
Max Lerner
If you mean by capitalism the God-given right of a few big corporations to make all the decisions that will affect millions of workers and consumers and to exclude everyone else from discussing and examining those decisions, then the unions are threatening capitalism.
Max Lerner
Every mob, in its ignorance and blindness and bewilderment, is a League of Frightened Men that seeks reassurance in collective action.
Max Lerner
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Max Lerner
A world technology means either a world government or world suicide.
Max Lerner
