“Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.”
“That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.”
