Beware of Idealists!

"The hopes they (social planners & Idealists) place in planning, however, are the result not of a comprehensive view of society but rather of a very limited view and often the result of a great exaggeration of the importance of the ends they place foremost. [I]t would make the very men who are most anxious to plan society the most dangerous if they were allowed to do so. From the saintly and single-minded idealist to the fanatic is often but a step."
