“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”– Lord Acton Related Quotes “It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.”– Alan Cohen “Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain.”– Marcus Tullius Cicero “The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.”– Robert Frost
