1 Creative Quotations from John Dalberg Acton (1834-1902) born on Jan 10 English historian who planned the "Cambridge Modern History.

2 Be not content with the best book; seek sidelights from the others; have no favourites.

3 See that your judgments are your own; and do not shrink from disagreement; no trusting without testing.

4 Be more severe to ideas than to actions; do not over look the strength of the bad cause or the weakness of the good.

5 There is no error so monstrous that it fails to find defenders among the ablest men.

6 Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
