It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
David Brin (1950 - )
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton, Letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
Dr. David M. Burns
Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault.
Dr. David M. Burns
Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.
Dr. David M. Burns
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix (1798 - 1863)

Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950)
The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.
Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964)
and for Marek....
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman (1942 - ), Secretary of the Navy, 1981-1987
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan (1952 - )
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906)
There are few nudities so objectionable as the naked truth.
Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950)
The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.
Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964)
