Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. – Lord Acton
And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. – Lord Acton
History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul. – Lord Acton
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. – Lord Acton
Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty–how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. – Henry Ward Beecher
