Best Quotes about Power

1.
In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Peter, Laurence J.

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

3.
To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.
Charles Caleb Colton

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

The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop

Nothing can withstand the power of the human will if it is willing to stake its very existence to the extent of its purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

Man was predestined to have free will.
Luyah, Hal

Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

He is the most powerful who has himself, in his power.
Seneca

10.
Power gravitates to the man who knows how.
Marden, Orison Swett

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
Covey, Stephen R.

12.
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

13.
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.
Mencken, H. L.

14.
Every man has enough power left to carry out that of which he is convinced.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.

Lao-Tzu

No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

17.
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet

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

19.
He has the power who the majority believe in.
Raupach

20.
Power intoxicates men. When a man is intoxicated by alcohol, he can recover, but when intoxicated by power, he seldom recovers.
Byrnes, James F.

21.
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

22.
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.

23.
We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile. But we can die without it.
Lerner, Max

24.
We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly.
Bruyere, Jean De La

25.
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.

26.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese

27.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

28.
Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil-the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be.
Jordan, William George

29.
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

30.
The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.
Havel, Vaclav

31.
Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe

32.
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

33.
Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

34.
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

35.
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb

36.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan

37.
We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.
Tillich, Paul

38.
Unlimited power corrupts the possessor.
Pitt, William

39.
The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.

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

41.
He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

42.
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

43.
Those that are firm in their will mold the world to themselves.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

44.
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Gaddis, William

45.
What doth it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Bible

46.
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Power never takes a step back except in the face of more power.
Malcolm X

50.
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
