Lord Acton
Quotations

There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.

Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.

There is not a soul who does not have to beg alms of another, either a smile, a handshake, or a fond eye.

The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.

Be not content with the best book; seek sidelights from the others; have no favorites.

[History is] not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.

And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.
