For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dead Bee maketh no Hony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49009]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dead Bee maketh no Hony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are often saved from crime by the disgrace of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50379]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are often saved from crime by the disgrace of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have literally stuck their hands into a hornets' nest.

This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us.
