Th abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power

Summary

This quote suggests that the real abuse of power and greatness occurs when individuals in positions of authority or influence no longer feel remorse or guilt for their actions. It highlights the dangerous nature of individuals who wield their power without any moral compass, as they can easily use their authority to exploit or harm others without feeling any sense of guilt or accountability. The quote serves as a reminder that true greatness is accompanied by responsibility and empathy, and that power without remorse can lead to great harm.
