“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.”
“A public man has no right to let his actions be determined by particular interests. He does the same thing as a judge who accepts a bribe. Like a judge, he must consider what is right, not what is advantageous to a party or class.”
“The object of civil society is justice, not truth, virtue, wealth, knowledge, glory or power. Justice is followed by equality and liberty.”
“The central idea of Machiavelli is that the state power is not bound by the moral law. The law is not above the state, but below it.”
“Live both in the future and the past. Who does not live in the past does not live in the future.”
John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, KCVO DL
Ask yourself, what is required to gain power, especially political power? Money and insider knowledge leads to power, and that is why the politicians in every political party are corrupt. Always follow the money, and you will find the puppeteers.
