Text Quotes
Power doesn’t corrupt. It’s neutral. Someone always wants to corrupt power. It’s the way a shotgun is not a deadly weapon until someone chooses to use it irrationally  (Corrupt Quotes) Probably in all history there is no instance of a society in which ecclesiastical power was dominant which was not at once stagnant, corrupt and brutal  (Corrupt Quotes) The end is what you want, the means is how you get it. Whenever we think about social change, the question of means and ends arises. The man of action views the issue of means and ends in pragmatic and strategic terms.

He asks of ends only whether they are achievable and worth the cost; of means, only whether they will work... The real arena is corrupt and bloody  (Corrupt Quotes) After all that corrupt poets, and more corrupt philosophers, have told us of the blandishments of pleasure, and of its tendency to soften the temper and humanize the affections, it is certain, that nothing hardens the heart like excessive and unbounded luxury; and he who refuses the fewest gratifications to his own voluptuousness, will generally be found the least susceptible of tenderness for the wants of others  (Corrupt Quotes) There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people through vicious and violent video games  (Corrupt Quotes) ... diabolical error, when it has artfully colored its lies, easily clothes itself in the likeness of truth while very brief additions or changes corrupt the meaning of expressions; and confession, which usually works salvation, sometimes, with a slight change, inches toward death  (Corrupt Quotes) It has been said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but many it not be truer to say that to be absolutely powerful a man must first corrupt himself?  (Corrupt Quotes) Writing is in fact an entirely outworn, decayed and corrupt convention whose chief and most conspicuous character is its monumental witness to the conservatism, laziness and irrationality of men and women  (Corrupt Quotes) Christ did not die for the good and beautiful. It is easy enough to die for the good and beautiful; the hard thing is to die for the miserable and corrupt  (Corrupt Quotes) It really is my opinion that media in general are so bad that we have to question whether the world wouldn’t be better off without them altogether. They are so distortive to how the world actually is that the result is.. we see wars, and we see corrupt governments continue on  (Corrupt Quotes) He asks how the evil is to be remedied. I tell him that there seems to be little chance for avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy; that the only ground of hope must be the morals of the people, but that these are, I fear, too corrupt  (Corrupt Quotes) O, how easy it would appear to be to live in simplicity and love, and yet how difficult it is for our corrupt hearts to live in love!  (Corrupt Quotes) It takes a very very strong individual not to be corrupt in any of those things as time moves on. Myself and other people who went that road and experienced that world, some got a second birth of life and some is in the dirt  (Corrupt Quotes) Usually when we do something to corrupt our lives, it’s usually something to fulfill an ache that we have  (Corrupt Quotes) Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul  (Corrupt Quotes) I have realized why corrupt politicians do nothing to improve the quality of public school education. They are terrified of educated voters  (Corrupt Quotes) I see now that true love isn’t fickle; it’s what we put into it. If we work hard at loving someone, then no one can corrupt the love we have  (Corrupt Quotes) When the thinking of a people becomes corrupt, the pure silver becomes impure in its hands  (Corrupt Quotes) While I am a capitalist at heart and I have no problems with commercialization as such, I believe that while it’s okay if education becomes a profitable business, it’s not okay if it becomes corrupt  (Corrupt Quotes) A realistic recognition of the human condition is that it is corrupt beyond belief. What do you suppose would happen if the police all took a week off?  (Corrupt Quotes) Russian literature saved my soul. When I was a young girl in school and I asked what is good and what is evil, no one in that corrupt system could show me  (Corrupt Quotes) It is necessary for the welfare of society that genius should be privileged to utter sedition, to blaspheme, to outrage good taste, to corrupt the youthful mind, and generally to scandalize one’s uncles  (Corrupt Quotes) Money does not corrupt people. What corrupts people is lack of affection... Money is simply the bandage which wounded people put over their wounds  (Corrupt Quotes) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit  (Corrupt Quotes) ...to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day  (Corrupt Quotes) The contagion of crime is like that of the plague. Criminals collected together corrupt each other. They are worse than ever when, at the termination of their punishment, they return to society  (Corrupt Quotes) No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community  (Corrupt Quotes) At the risk of repetition let me say again that my plea is not for immunity to, but for the most unsparing exposure of, the politician who betrays his trust, of the big business man who makes or spends his fortune in illegitimate or corrupt ways. There should be a resolute effort to hunt every such man out of the position he has disgraced.

Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless... From the conclusion of this war we shall be going downhill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to affect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion  (Corrupt Quotes) As you get older, it’s important to have goals. When you’re a kid you have them, but other people can set them for you, such as your parents, your school... so, as you get older it’s nice to have your own goals, which don’t have to do with being more famous, or being in bigger movies, or making more money. Those things kind of corrupt your soul  (Corrupt Quotes)
