Best Quotes about Power
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
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
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Kissinger, Henry
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
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton
Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.
Friedman, Milton
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
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan
Woman's influence is powerful, especially when she wants something.
Billings, Josh
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
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
Power over a man's subsistence amounts to power over his will.
Hamilton, Alexander
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
The creation of a thousand forest in one acorn.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
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
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.
Joseph Farrell
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly
People do not lack strength; they lack will.
Hugo, Victor
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.
Swift, Jonathan
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
Shaw, George Bernard
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Paul, Jean
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
Shakespeare, William
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
When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.
Aeschylus
It is difficult to find a reputable American historian who will acknowledge the crude fact that a Franklin Roosevelt, say, wanted to be President merely to wield power, to be famed and to be feared. To learn this simple fact one must wade through a sea of
Vidal, Gore
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish
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
Not necessity, not desire --no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything --health, food, a place to live, entertainment --they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
Patton, George S.
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
