“Une foi absolue corrompt aussi absolument qu'un pouvoir absolu.”
“Le pouvoir corrompt, le pouvoir absolu corrompt absolument.”
" Le pouvoir tend à corrompre, le pouvoir absolu corrompt absolument. Les grands hommes sont presque toujours des hommes mauvais. "
En anglais : " 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. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men"
