Lord Acton Quotes and Quotations


Good and evil lie close together. Seek no artistic unity in character.
Truth is the only merit that gives dignity and worth to history.
There is no error so monstrous that it fails to find defenders among the ablest men. Imagine a congress of eminent celebrities such as More, Bacon, Grotius, Pascal, Cromwell, Bossuet, Montesquieu, Jefferson, Napoleon, Pitt, etc. The result would be an Encyclopedia of Errors.
There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.
- Lord Acton | Politics Quotes
Imagine a congress of eminent celebrities such as More, Bacon, Grotius, Pascal, Cromwell, Bossuet, Montesquieu, Jefferson, Napoleon, Pitt, etc. They would be an Encyclopedia of Errors.
