Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship.

David Ben-Gurion

So long as people do not consider all men as their brothers and do not consider human life as the most sacred thing, which rather than destroy they must consider it their first and foremost duty to support; that is so long as people do not behave towards one another in a religious manner, they will always ruin one another's lives for the sake of personal gain.

Leo Tolstoy
