“power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely”

“You can have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power”

“Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed”

“Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power”

and finally

“Then everything includes itself in power,
Power into will, will into appetite;
And appetite, an universal wolf,
So doubly seconded with will and power,
Must make perforce an universal prey,
And last eat up himself”

LOL Goodluck ATOF….
