"At times, the most dangerous politicians have been those impelled by dreams and ideals, rather than basic realities."

Previous Quote

To mix science up with philosophy is only to produce a philosophy that has lost all its ideal value and a science that has lost all its practical value. It is for my private physician to tell me whether this or that food will kill me. It is for my private philosopher to tell me whether I ought to be killed.

— Gilbert K. Chesterton
