"For the Greater Good" was the motto of Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore when they were young. It represented the idea that possessing magic gives wizards and witches the right to rule over Muggles, but that this authority comes with certain responsibilities, and would be in the Muggles' best interests. After Dumbledore severed ties with Grindelwald following a duel that claimed the life of his younger sister, the motto became Gridelwald's alone, and was used by him to justify his actions in the European Wizarding Revolution. He engraved it over the entrance of Nurmengard, the prison he constructed to house those who opposed him.
