Power corrupts

"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord John Dalberg-Acton
"Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority." again Lord Acton
"Power corrupts, and there is nothing more corrupting than power exercised in secret." - Daniel Schorr
"Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect any who seek it." - Frank Herbert
"Despotic power is always accompanied by corruption of morality." - Alexis de Tocqueville
“One Ring to rule them all,

One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all

and in the darkness bind them.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

We are warned not exercise authority, nor covet that which belongs to our neighbor, nor eat at the tables of rulers but let every soul remain subject to the perfect law of liberty and beware of the Leaven of the Herod who succumbed to the way of Cain, and the orthodox pharisees who united as hypocrites in the formation of public religion of the world leading the masses to destruction.
