Best Quotes about Power

1.
A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.
Syrus, Publilius

2.
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus

3.
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold

The one who wills is the one who can.
Proverb

5.
Power never takes a step back except in the face of more power.
Malcolm X

6.
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

7.
Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe

8.
Power-worship blurs political judgment because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.
Orwell, George

9.
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
Hooker, Richard

10.
What doth it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Bible

11.
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David

Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew

Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson

If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William

To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

16.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton

17.
Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.
Hill, Napoleon

18.
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

19.
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

20.
What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter.
Drucker, Peter F.

21.
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob

22.
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Steinem, Gloria

23.
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

24.
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

25.
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William

26.
He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

27.
Our power is in our ability to decide.
Fuller, Buckminster

28.
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.

29.
Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well.
A. Bartlett Giamatti

30.
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible

31.
In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Peter, Laurence J.

32.
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De

33.
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
Orwell, George

34.
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

35.
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
Shaw, George Bernard

36.
Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb

37.
There is an urgent need -- in fact a national survival need -- for invigorating intellectual life, for upgrading the general regard for intellectual excellence. The United States must experience an intellectual renaissance or it will experience defeat. The time cannot be far off -- if indeed it is not already here -- when the strength of a nation, measured in terms of any kind of world competition, will depend less on the number of its bombs than on the number of its learned men.
Roper, Elmo

38.
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin

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

44.
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

45.
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall

46.
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea

47.
The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind -- not the fiend or the sadist.
Fromm, Erich

48.
The law always limits every power it gives.
Hume, David
