It is weakness rather than wickedness which renders men unfit to be trusted with unlimited power

Even in weakness there can be power.

That power which erring men call chance

A government of laws, and not of men.

The universal object and idol of men of letters is reputation

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. All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
