The Best is the Enemy of the Good.

I was thinking about this quotation today because it turned up in a
project management book I am reading.

It seems that it is equally applicable to men, that the Best are the
enemy of the Good. I have always assosciated myself with many of the
best and it has always been my observation that they aren't very good.

So maybe Periander is right both in tyranny and democracy. Or perhaps
the good should be uprooted.
