Max Weber

Quotes

• “The capacity to distinguish between empirical knowledge and value-judgments, and the fulfillment of the scientific duty to see the factual truth as well as the practical duty to stand up for our own ideals constitute the program to which we wish to adhere with ever increasing firmness.”

• “Politics means a strong slow drilling of hard boards, with passion and judgment at the same time.”

• “Academic life is a mad hazard. If the young scholar asks for my advice with regard to habilitation, the responsibility of encouraging him can hardly be borne.”

• “The ultimately possible attitudes toward life are irreconcilable, and hence their struggle can never be brought to a final conclusion.”

• “In a democracy the people choose a leader in whom they trust. Then the chosen leader says, ‘Now shut up and obey me.’ People and party are then no longer free to interfere in his business.”
