From Daniel Webster (1782-1852), United States Senator and Secretary of State, a speech delivered at Niblo’s Saloon, in New York, on the 15 of March, 1837:
There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters.
