Best Quotes about Power
Where does virgin wool come from? The sheep that runs the fastest.
Banks, Harry F.
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus
The one who wills is the one who can.
Proverb
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop
He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.
Fuller, Thomas
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus
I feel it now: there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it. All becoming has need me..
Rilke, Rainer Maria
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.
Foucault, Michel
Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.
Lao-Tzu
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
Power tires only those who do not have it.
Andreotti, Giulio
Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil-the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be.
Jordan, William George
The secret to all power is to only do that which all would willingly do.
Kinkel
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.
Genet, Jean
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet
Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents birth
Vizinczey, Stephen
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William
The most exquisite paradox as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all.As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.
Dass, Ram
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The king goes as far as he may, not as far as he could.
Proverb, Spanish
If school results were the key to power, girls would be running the world.
Boseley, Sarah
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Barthes, Roland
I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
James A. Garfield
It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
David Brin
Willingness is essential in any initiation or in making an dream come true. I can t often means I won t. You can change I won t to I will with willpower.
Wieder, Marcia
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Man has will, but woman has her way.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer
The law always limits every power it gives.
Hume, David
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power -- he's free again.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha
We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will permit us to use powers that we now are not even capable of imagining.
Tilney, Dr. Frederick
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly
I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.
Jefferson, Thomas
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that.
Castaneda, Carlos
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu
When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.
Aeschylus
