I don't care for statements like, "Money changes people," or, "Power corrupts." They remove all responsibility from the person changing for the subsequent change.
A more accurate statement would be that people with money or power change. Nothing outside ourselves can force a particular change upon us. While we are often faced with situations which require adaptation, we always have a choice in how we are changed by them and rarely are the changes we make irreversible.
