Fredrich August von Hayek Quote 

"The greatest danger to liberty today
comes from the men who are most needed
and most powerful in modern government,
namely, the efficient expert administrators
exclusively concerned with what they regard
as the public good."

Reader comments about this quote:
The 'publIc good' is sought after uniquely by Godless tyrants, no matter what title or belief system they may claim (by way of example: Christian, Humanist, socialist, fascist, etc.). Those seeking 'the public good' do not, CAN NOT, understand personal liberty, law, or order!!!

No more true in 1960 than it is today. It is the rich and powerful who place us all most at risk.
 -- Anonymous, Reston, VA US
 
It is the masses of humanity that allow themselves to be herded around like cattle by bureaucrats that put the rest of us most at risk.

Parties may change, but government bureaucrats are forever.
