presumption that they did no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way, against the holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." (John Dalberg-Acton, aka "Lord Acton", in a letter he wrote to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887)
"There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it." (ibid.)
"The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern." (Lord Acton, in a letter to Mary Gladstone, 1881)
"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power... Power is not a means, it is an end... The object of power is power." (O'Brien, to Winston, in George Orwell's '1984')
"There are more hooligans in the House Of Commons than there are at a football match." (Brian Clough, manager of Nottingham Forest)
"Tolluntur in altum Ut lapsu graviore ruant", or "Men are raised on high in order that they may fall more heavily"... i.e. "the bigger they are, the harder they fall." (Claudian, 4th-cent. AD poet)
"You can't be a non-conformist if you don't drink coffee" (tall goth kid, to Stan; in South Park, season 7, episode 14: "Raisins")".
