What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.
- Isabel Allende
I believe the root of all evil is abuse of power.
- Patricia Cornwell
Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.
- James Madison
The will of the people, moreover, practically means the will of the most numerous or the most active part of the people; the majority, or those who succeed in making themselves accepted as the majority; type people, consequently, may desire to oppress a part of their number; and precautions are as much needed against this as against any other abuse of power.
- John Stuart Mill
I keep what I know about Sarah Lynn and Lawrence to myself. I also remind myself that even if Sarah Lynn does have a scary strict father, that doesn't release her from the responsibility of treating others with respect. Abuse of power is wrong, no matter the context, no matter the history.
What is "power" anyway? Power is an ego trip. Power is a way to rise yourself up by lowering others, and I want nothing of it.
- Lauren Myracle
Through the machineries of greed, pettiness, and the abuse of power, love occurs.
- Thomas Pynchon
With power comes the abuse of power. And where there are bosses, there are crazy bosses. It's nothing new.
- Judd Rose

- Lionel Shriver
This House cannot function without an open, accountable, and independent ethics process; and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand.
- Louise Slaughter
Every American, regardless of their background, has the right to live free of unwarranted government intrusion. Repealing the worst provisions of the Patriot Act will reign in this gross abuse of power and restore to everyone our basic Constitutional rights.
