"
Power tends to corrupt and
absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men
are almost
always bad men,
even when they exercise influence and not
authority: still
more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by
authority."
Lord Acton, letter, 5 April 1887,
to Bishop Mandell Creighton (Acton 1972)
