| LORD JOHN DALBERG ACTON |
| (1834-1902) |
| �Be not content with the best book; seek sidelights from the others; have no favourites.�
�Guard against the prestige of great names; see that your judgments are your own; and do not shrink from disagreement; no trusting without testing.� �Learn as much by writing as by reading.� �Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity.� "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." �The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.� �There is no error so monstrous that it fails to find defenders among the ablest men.� |
