Quote by Eric Sevareid
Next to power without honor, the most dangerous thing in the world is power without humor.
Summary
This quote suggests that power, when combined with a lack of integrity or ethics (power without honor), is incredibly dangerous. However, it goes further to argue that power without humor is equally perilous. It implies that having the ability to wield authority without the ability to laugh at oneself or bring lightheartedness to one's actions can lead to a distorted and potentially harmful exercise of power. Humor allows us to navigate serious matters with a balanced perspective, and its absence can have destructive consequences.
