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 leader may symbolize and express what is best in people, like Pericles, or what is worst, like Hitler, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24453]]></link><description><![CDATA[A leader may symbolize and express what is best in people, like Pericles, or what is worst, like Hitler, but he cannot successfully express what is only in his heart and not in theirs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, now lettest now thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.(2:29). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord, now lettest now thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.(2:29).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and, instead of thinking how things may be, to see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59626]]></link><description><![CDATA[The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and, instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frank dominated from the start.

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you love an addle egg as well as you love an idle head, you would eat chickens i' th' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13261]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you love an addle egg as well as you love an idle head, you would eat chickens i' th' shell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many famous and high-spirited heroes have lived a day too long? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19273]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many famous and high-spirited heroes have lived a day too long?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Our thoughtful observer who is outside the Churches has done a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Our thoughtful observer who is outside the Churches has done a good deal of thinking on his own. The discoveries of modern physical and biological science, of astronomy, and of psychology, have profoundly influenced his conception of the "size" of God. If there be a Mind behind the immense complexities of the phenomena that man can observe, then it is that of a Being tremendous in His power and wisdom: it is emphatically not that of a little god. It is perfectly conceivable that such a Being has a moral purpose which is being worked out on the stage of this small planet. It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item></channel></rss>
