Context is everything

The statement that "there must be limits on freedom" is one I find worthy of consideration in the mouth of a philosopher.

In the mouth of a national president and head of state, someone whose own freedom will not be curtailed by any limits he enacts, it is wholly untrustworthy.



If Plato's philosopher king had ever actually sat on a throne the whole concern would have gone the way of Blithedale.
