“The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty.”

Reason is overrated.

No, it is not reason that is overrated; it is man's ability to reason that is overrated.

It was true of King Saul, It is true of King George, and is true 5 stars worth of the time, I think it's the enjoyment of power that corrupts so completely.

Emotion is overrated. Man's ability to reason would cause most adults to buy a gun for their own security. Sadly, "gun control" is emotionally directed.

"Enjoyment of power" is not what corrupts but man's interpretion of it.

The lust for power is the root of all evil. Without reason, we would soon all be slaves to lies, superstition, and custom.

Joe, I think you took an industrial strength 'Right On' pill today

He who reasons best reasons inadequately.

this is not what i searched for. this was no help whatsoever. Thanks a lot for ruining my entire night and wasting my prescious time.
