Barry Goldwater Quotes:
Ocupation: Former United States Senator
Life: January 2, 1909 - May 29, 1998
Birthday: January 2
Death: May 29
Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed.
