All I want is a warm bed, a kind word and unlimited power. The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power. Nadine Gordimer Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb. John Lehman Power corrupts.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. If I were running the world I would have it rain only between 2 and 5 a.m. Anyone who was out then ought to get wet. George Bernard Shaw Power does not corrupt men. Fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
