Bacon, Francis

9.
To create power is like a magnet, this is true because this creative power operates like a magnet.

Bristol, Claude M.

Castaneda, Carlos

A word after a word after a word is power.
Atwood, Margaret

Eliot, T. S.

23.
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

24.
You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.
Capone, Al

25.

Lois McMaster Bujold

The greatest power is often simple patience.
Cossman, E. Joseph

27.
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
