“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.
History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.
There is not a soul who does not have to beg alms of another, either a smile, a handshake, or a fond eye.
Save for the wild force of Nature, nothing moves in this world that is not Greek in its origin.
