“But although the cliché says that power always corrupts, what is seldom said ... is that power always reveals.

“When a man is climbing, trying to persuade others to give him power, concealment is necessary.

“But as a man obtains more power, camouflage becomes less necessary.”

- Robert Caro (2012)
