Because power corrupts society's ordspråk

Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.

John Adams (1735-1826)

He's showing that you don't need formal authority. You can have moral authority and be a player - not positional authority, but moral authority? In many ways, it's a personal crisis like that which drives you to a position of moral authority.

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.

Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

We believe in freedom. So does God. I am not a dictator. He is. I am not a barbarian. He is. And he is. They all are. I possess moral authority. You see this fist? This is my moral authority.

Harold Pinter (1930-)

Power - Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely, too.
