RE: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

in #steemit7 years ago

@humanearl sir...
The people’s representatives will reach their destination, invested with the highest confidence and unlimited power. They will show great character. They must consider that great responsibility follows inseparably from great power. To their energy, to their courage, and above all to their prudence, they shall owe their success and their glory.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
They must consider that great responsibility follows inseparably from great power.
It was common to speak of the power of the press, and he admitted that its power was great. He should, however, beg leave to remind the conductors of the press of their duty to apply to themselves a maxim which they never neglected to urge on the consideration of government –“that the possession of great power necessarily implies great responsibility.” They stood in a high situation, and ought to consider justice and truth the great objects of their labours, and not yield themselves up to their interests or their passions.

Cheers~~

I am enjoying my new responsibilities. It's been hard to adjust though but I am figuring it out slowly. I love he quotes and insight you gave on it.
