I truly believe that all power corrupts. Such is probably the thinking behind every political film ever made in Hollywood.

Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.

He always says that those who control the present can rewrite the past.
