Mmm... This is deep...

From 'Minority Report: H.L. Mencken’s Notebooks' which were first published in 1956:

The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve. This is true even of the pious brethren who carry the gospel to foreign parts.
