"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." | by: | Lord Acton [John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton] (1834-1902), First Baron Acton of Aldenham |
