Quotes by Lord Acton
- The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern: every class is unfit to govern.
- The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.
- There is not a soul who does not have to beg alms of another, either a smile, a handshake, or a fond eye.
