“It was not power that corrupted people, but fools who corrupted power.”
“Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.”
“It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.”
“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
“power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutley”
“Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely, absolute power attracts the corruptible.”
