Best Quotes about Power

1.
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

2.
All, or the greatest part of men that have aspired to riches or power, have attained thereunto either by force or fraud, and what they have by craft or cruelty gained, to cover the foulness of their fact, they call purchase, as a name more honest. Howsoever, he that for want of will or wit useth not those means, must rest in servitude and poverty.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

3.
Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.
Hill, Napoleon

If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer

5.
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

6.
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Kissinger, Henry

7.
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
Robert F. Kennedy

8.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton

9.
Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.
Friedman, Milton

10.
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

11.
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

12.
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill

13.
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen

14.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan

15.
Woman's influence is powerful, especially when she wants something.
Billings, Josh

16.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese

17.
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

18.
Power over a man's subsistence amounts to power over his will.
Hamilton, Alexander

19.
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus

20.
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

21.
The need to exert power, when thwarted in the open fields of life, is the more likely to assert itself in trifles.
Cooley, Charles Horton

22.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

23.
The creation of a thousand forest in one acorn.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.
Marden, Orison Swett

25.
Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.
Hoffer, Eric

26.
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha

27.
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
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

29.
The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.
Joseph Farrell

30.
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert

31.
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse

32.
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly

33.
People do not lack strength; they lack will.
Hugo, Victor

34.
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Cicero, Marcus T.

35.
Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.
Swift, Jonathan

36.
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
Shaw, George Bernard

37.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu

When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.
Aeschylus
