Who said with power comes corruption

There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it. That is the point at which the negation of Catholicism and the negation of Liberalism meet and keep high festival, and the end learns to justify the means. You would hang a man of no position, like Ravaillac; but if what one hears is true, then Elizabeth asked the gaoler to murder Mary, and William III ordered his Scots minister to extirpate a clan.

Here are the greater names coupled with the greater crimes. We combined and put things in common to protect the weak against the strong. Mere strong language and special pleading take in nobody.

We must always distinguish the real essence from the conveyance, especially in political economy. Event Details. Power and Authority.

Liberty and Freedom. Absolutism, in concentration of power. Morality, Justice, and Sin. Politics and Government. Literature rules the future.

Every class is unfit to govern. The State. History and Progress. The letter was written in Great men are almost always bad men. In fact, the primary originator of this quotation is an English politician, William Pitt the Elder, Earl of Chatham and former Primer Minister of England from Once in jungle a rat was very frightened by a cat Somehow it escaped from the attack, There the rat met a Saint and prayed To be a large cat, So, it was turned into a cat And it began to kill rats, But dogs often used to chase it, Being unhappy it prayed to be a mighty dog, So it was then turned into a big dog And it began to torture the cats, But tigers began to chase it So, again it prayed to be a tiger, Finally the Saint turned it into a tiger, This tiger began to feel very mighty That made it so proud of power, Ill thoughts entered its brain heavily It planned to attack and kill the Saint; Some evidences made the Saint understand Instantly he turned it into the pre-rat.

Muzahidul Reza, an English poet from Bangladesh, wrote serious and political poems and made a name in the South Asian English literature. Muzahidul Reza has beautifully woven the concept of power around the tale of a rate that meets a saint.

The saint fulfills his desire of becoming something more significant. The saint sees that he is abusing the power of being a big animal than before instead of using it for helping other creatures. It dawns upon him that power corrupts any creature.

Therefore, the title of the poem is apt that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
