Top 15 Kaitlyn Schiess Quotes (2024 Update)

Kaitlyn Schiess Quote: “Proximity to power is its own kind of education. It shapes who you are and what you desire in life. A thirst for political power – and sometimes, obtaining that power – begets more than corruption: It often involves sexual immorality, degraded moral judgment and financial malpractice. Power never affects just one area of people’s lives; it leads them to believe they can determine right and wrong for themselves. And it never affects just those individuals.”
