Walter Lippmann Quotes

It Is Doubtful Whether A Supreme Master Of Style Could Pack All The Elements Of Truth That Complete Justice Would Demand Into A Hundred Word Account Of What Had Happened In Korea During The Course Of Several Months. For Language Is By No Means A Perfect Vehicle Of Meanings. Words, Like Currency, Are Turned Over And Over Again, To Evoke One Set Of Images To-day, Another To-morrow. There Is No Certainty Whatever That The Same Word Will Call Out Exactly The Same Idea In The Reader's Mind As It Did In The Reporter's. Theoretically, If Each Fact And Each Relation Had A Name That Was Unique, And If Everyone Had Agreed On The Names, It Would Be Possible To Communicate Without Misunderstanding. In The Exact Sciences There Is An Approach To This Ideal, And That Is Part Of The Reason Why Of All Forms Of World-wide Cooperation, Scientific Inquiry Is The Most Effective.
