Power makes it easy to do the wrong thing, and harder to do the right thing.
Power comes with responsibility that the powerless do not necessarily assume.
Give people power and it will be corrupted.
Thats not how having power over others works.
Maybe no one should have that level of power.
Only give power to people who don't want it.
Powerful people will be powerful people. Who the hell cares?
those that want power aren't fit to wield it, those fit to wield it don't want it.
Power corrupts, and corruption empowers.
Unchecked power is a bad thing to hand to another human being.
