Famous Sayings

Who once wisely said:

“Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely”?

Lord Acton did.

If you want to know what this famous saying means:

Look at many politicians or those in big positions of power…celebrities, so-called leaders, you name it.  Even those who were once poor.  Many soon forget where they came from.

Lesson from this famous saying:

We must never forget, lest we become like those that the Lord of the Rings call ring wraiths, corrupted by the lust for power and glory.
