Best Quotes about Power
By time and council do the best we can: The event is never in the power of man.
Herrich
Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James
When thou standest still from thinking and willing of self, the eternal hearing, seeing, and speaking will be revealed to thee, and so God heareth and seeth through thee. Thine own hearing, willing, and seeing hindereth thee, that thou dost not see nor hear God.
Boehme, Jacob
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
Will is character in action.
Mcdougall, William
Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.
Hoffer, Eric
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De
The creation of a thousand forest in one acorn.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Bevan, Aneurin
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse
Power corrupts, but lack of power corrupts absolutely.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
A word after a word after a word is power.
Atwood, Margaret
He is the most powerful who has himself, in his power.
Seneca
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The one who wills is the one who can.
Proverb
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel
No man can ever end with being superior who will not begin with being inferior.
Smith, Sydney
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
With the eye made quiet by power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
Wordsworth, William
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
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Power gravitates to the man who knows how.
Marden, Orison Swett
A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough to make us worthy of using it.
Rostand, Jean
The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind -- not the fiend or the sadist.
Fromm, Erich
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Steinem, Gloria
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
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid
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
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.
Frost, Robert
In great things it is enough even to have willed.
Propertius, Sextus
A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.
Syrus, Publilius
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu
What you seek, exists within you. Every resource you need is available to you.
Wieder, Marcia
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian
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
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William
Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.
Mizner, Addison
Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.
Bacon, Francis
I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Thatcher, Margaret
To get power over is to defile. To possess is to defile.
Weil, Simone
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
