分享幾句

分享幾句某人說的話（Lord Acton)：

「Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.」（完全同意！）

"Great men are almost always bad men."（這個不太清楚，什麼是"bad men"呢？）

「The strong man with the dagger is followed by the weak man with the sponge.」（一物降一物吧）

「There is no worse heresy than the fact that the office sanctifies the holder of it.」（那是，誰不自己說自己好）

「The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.」（tyranny is democracy???!可能吧。)

「Be not content with the best book; seek sidelights from the others; have no favorites.」（不能只學好書，也要學不好的書，只有讀了不好的書才能知道什麼是好書。呵呵）

"The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future."（再同意不過了！歷史就是政治）

「[History is] not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.」（嗯）

「And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.」（誰掌權誰是土匪，權力越大，越土匪！？哈哈）

"The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks."（Lord Acton有遠見！）

"The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern: every class is unfit to govern."（沒人喜歡被控制，人人都喜歡控制別人）

"Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought."（權力而不是僑情）

"There is no error so monstrous that it fails to find defenders among the ablest men."（防人之心不可無）

"Socialism means slavery."（哈哈哈~~~~再精闢不過了！！！）

"At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities, that have prevailed by associating themselves with auxiliaries whose objects differed from their own; and this association, which is always dangerous, has been sometimes disastrous, by giving to opponents just grounds of opposition."（藝高人膽大！不入虎穴，焉得虎子？？！！）
