Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity. – Lord Acton
If some great catastrophe is not announced every morning, we feel a certain void. Nothing in the paper today, we sigh. – Lord Acton
Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality. – Lord Acton
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. – Lord Acton
