Quotation marks/commas Please, could you explain me what is the difference between double and single quotes? In which cases do you use double/single quotes? Are they equivalent to each other?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely The proverbial saying 'power corrupts’ conveys the opinion that, as a person's power increases, their moral sense diminishes. But is that really the case? Power means that a person can get other people to do things for him. He gets comfortable with that. The more power he has, the more he thinks he can get away with stuff. People with power get arrogant.

Also, there is the problem of trying to hold on to power. The worst thing that can happen to a person in power is to lose it. Absolute power may conjure up dictators who have no checks and balances. The dictator becomes more and more corrupt as he finds it easier to do the immoral things he needs to do to hold onto power.

Nevertheless, do not dismiss the importance of nature, attitude and education. Not all powerful people are corrupted. If a person values truth, justice, equality above all, then no power should change him for the worse.

To sum up, power is a serious test and no less serious temptation. Thus, this is primarily an abstract concept, used to describe a privilege given by some people to others. By itself, it does not change anything. It depends only on the person how he will dispose of it, and only the person is responsible for their actions.
