Abraham Lincoln once said, "To test a man's character, give him power." What do you think?

i would say if you going to test man character take the power of him! the real man help's him self in bad situations , and if we gived someone the power he will get lazzy and lame because all things he want to do he would be able to do it , so i say take the power of him and test him by doing that! And Thanks for your post i like it :D have a nice day :)

Thanks your kind response! I think maybe the train of logic that Lincoln tried to say was when someone has everything he wants, he might start to think that he is God because he can do anything with his power and that's when the danger creeps in, because he is not and cannot =) Have a good day, too there!

Lol that's remembering me of Gorge W. Bush He got the power and he is still thinking him self a god Lets go their and set up new war no one will stop me ;) Sound's funny but it looks like its true but i still say take all his power and test him as he is! because Power Decayed within bad people who use it in bad way and thanks for your fast respond :) *i vote you +*

I think I can see your train of logic =) So, maybe the best way is to discuss it case by case. Thanks for the +, I appreciate it! A + for you, too for your responses =)

I love that quote! And I totally agree with it. If you gave a man with good character power, he would use it for good. He would use it to help starving people or help sick children, or make the world a better place. But if he had bad character he would use that power to give himself money, or do something that would only benefit himself. I totally agree with that quote!
