“The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power.”

i think that is a great quote. very insightful indeed.

The powerful are seldom remorseful.

WS for wisdom and vocabulary-disjoin is such a great verb.

Indeed.

The most certain measure of the greatness of any who are truly great is their unwillingness to pursue the acquisition of power as an objective in itself.

They, alone, are constitutionally capable of possessing and exercising power in a principled, constrained and continent manner.

Power tends to abuse. Greatness is a mantel readily donned and rarely earned.
