“Th abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power.”
William Shakespeare
“Our Founding Fathers would shudder to see how easily forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push some Senate leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: Abusing power. Inserting the government into our private lives. Injecting religion into debates about public policy. Jumping through hoops to ingratiate themselves to their party’s base, while step by step, day by day, real problems that keep American families up at night fall by the wayside here in Washington.”
Senator John Kerry
“It’s disappointing that such bullying tactics are used against us for carrying out our job. MaltaToday will persist in bringing to public attention the news and stories that are of direct and immediate public concern, regardless of any abusive commercial pressures”
Maltatoday
“The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.”
Edmund Burke
“Don't let nobody overshadow your greatness, for you were intrusted with this task! So, protect it with your life if you must!”
Philip T. M.
“Classic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. ROLLING IN THE MUCK IS NOT THE BEST WAY OF GETTING CLEAN.”
Aldous Huxley
“Carve not upon a stone when I am dead, The praises which remorseful mourners give; To women's graves - a tardy recompense, But speak them while I live”
Elizabeth Akers Allen
