Quote by Lord Acton (1834-1902)

• Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

• The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities.

• Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

• The man who prefers his country before any other duty shows the same spirit as the man who surrenders every right to the state. They both deny that right is superior to authority.

• Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

• Learn as much by writing as by reading.
