Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end...liberty is the only object which benefits all alike, and provokes no sincere opposition...The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. ~ Every class is unfit to govern ... Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.
Lord ActonMany things are better for silence than for speech: others are better for speech than for stationery.
Lord ActonThose who have more power are liable to sin more; no theorem in geometry is more certain than this.
