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 is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36595]]></link><description><![CDATA[No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past always looks better than it was because it isn't here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19545]]></link><description><![CDATA[The past always looks better than it was because it isn't here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest Englishmen.    Do the work that's nearest     Though it's dull at whiles,      Helping, when we meet them,       Lame dogs over stiles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62120</guid></item></channel></rss>
