Quotable Quotes: on power

I loved this Lord Acton quote when I first heard it because it felt like a good explanation for some personal observations:

"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Except that I worried what that would mean for me if I were ever in a situation of power. Then I ran across this quote by Adam Grant in "Power Moves" and felt a lot better:

"Power doesn't necessarily corrupt. Power reveals on the outside was on the inside all along."

Lovely.
