"Great power comes with great responsibility."

Despite what Marvel and the movies would have us believe, this powerful and epic quote does not come from a Hollywood script writing team but from the innovative and ardent literary sanctuary from the 19th century France.

The credit has been given to Stan Lee, the writer of Spiderman, Franklin D. Roosevelt and even Winston Churchill at diverse stages; however, the first literary record of this quote can be attributed to Francois-Marie Arouet aka Voltaire who was alarmed by the poor and deprived who suffered around him by the appalling abuse of authority and privileged - the powerful ones. Therefore, the power vested among the officers of different organizations is likewise having a requirement in your major subject that you need to comply in order to pass. "Dalawa kasi siya, President

Much of Voltaire's work reflects on this theme, however it was in "Å’uvres de Voltaire, Volume 48" that we first hear the direct use of this phrase.

If you can remember the name of this book during said argument in Friday night pub ramble then you have definitely earned your pint.

Of course in Spiderman's case it was just as apt as when first directed at those who Voltaire believed to be wicked, corrupt and everything that was rotten in France at the time.

Voltaire. Jean, Adrien. Beuchot, Quentin and Miger, Pierre, Auguste. "Œuvres de Voltaire, Volume 48". Lefèvre, 1832

Such a basic tenet is easy to find among the great and moderate thinkers all the way back to the bronze age. I'd like to put a credit in for Jesus Christ "To those who much is given much is required" Luke 12:48 circa 30 AD.

No doubt other will find something similar amongst the Greek philosophers.
