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[Call things by their right names . . .

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My goal for this season was to go out on the mound and put my team in position to win ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30842]]></link><description><![CDATA[My goal for this season was to go out on the mound and put my team in position to win every time I step out there.
