Description A famous quote from Plato.
I think it is very true what he says, only people with a strong personality can sustain the temptation of power. Many people become corrupt when given might.

I agree. Most will flaunt of all their might and becomes corrupted, and some who are wise and not an idiot will use it as good and help to those who needs help.

People who try to help other people are also corrupted. When people have causes that are greater than humanity, they tend to be willing to do horrible things to people in the name of that cause.

Most people who are out to help themselves, steal. But such is not the case for the idealist.

Power is an odd thing, is it better to wield authority or might?
