Additional quotes by Robert Payne

At the heart of the mystery of corruption lies the desire of one man to impose his will on others to the largest possible extent.

Corrupt men are always liars. Lies are their instruments, their pleasure, their solace. In time they come to believe their lies, or rather to half-believe them.

It is almost a general rule that nations do not decline gradually. Instead they fall abruptly from their greatest heights.

A culture is not only the language and the arts of a people. It is all their history, all their hopes for the future. - Robert Payne
