Guin, Ursula K. Le

30.
The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind -- not the fiend or the sadist.

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

32.
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

33.
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid

34.
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

35.
I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.

Howsoever, he that for want of will or wit useth not those means, must rest in servitude and poverty.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
