What is your definition of power mad? What I speak of is not a man mad with power but one who has earned the power, learned how to wield it, and hasn't been corrupted by it, instead giving it back to others.

While power corrupts over time, it is ultimately the aspirations and actions of a man that can either corrupt him or bring him glory. Lesser men who seek only to benefit themselves with material possessions and low aspirations must not be allowed power for this reason.
