“Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.”
— Aldous Huxley
Simplified Meaning:
When politicians want to gain power, they often present themselves as having very strong and pure beliefs, like they want to change the world for the better. This makes them look good and can attract people's support. However, their true intention might just be to get power and control. For example, a politician might promise to fight for clean air and water to protect the environment. People think this is a noble goal and support him. But once he is in power, he might not actually do much to help the environment. Instead, he might focus on things that give him more control or benefits. People should be careful and watch what leaders actually do, not just what they say. It's important to look past the noble promises and see their actions, to understand their real intentions.
