Quote of the Day (Thomas Babington Macaulay, on Virtue and Power)
“The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless
power without abusing it.”—English historian and Whig politician Lord Thomas
Babington Macaulay (1800-1859), 1843 review of Lucy Aikin’s Life and Writings of Addison, in Critical and Historical Essays (1852)
Good luck trying to find such a person—especially
these days.
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
