Motivational Quotes
Power
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.

Best Quotes about Power
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength. [Proverbs 24:5]
Bible
Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.
Fuller, Thomas
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan
Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.
Swift, Jonathan
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius
A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
Shakespeare, William
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Thatcher, Margaret
Calmness is the cradle of power.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert
Men should think twice before making widow hood woman's only path to power.
Steinem, Gloria
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Thatcher, Margaret
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
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
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
Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.
Fuller, Thomas
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.
Lord Macaulay
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
The power to do good is also the power to do harm.
Friedman, Milton
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power -- he's free again.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Kissinger, Henry
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean
Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
James A. Garfield
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
The appetite for power, even for universal power, is only insane when there is no possibility of indulging it; a man who sees the possibility opening before him and does not try to grasp it, even at the risk of destroying himself and his country, is either
Weil, Simone
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
Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
Thatcher, Margaret
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will permit us to use powers that we now are not even capable of imagining.
Tilney, Dr. Frederick
Free will and determinism are like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism. The way you play your hand is free will.
Cousins, Norman
What doth it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Bible
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
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
The secret to all power is to only do that which all would willingly do.
Kinkel
There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do.
Singer, Isaac Bashevis
If power is for sale, sell your mother to buy it. You can always buy her back again.
Proverb, Arabian
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca
Man was predestined to have free will.
Luyah, Hal
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid
In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.
Genet, Jean
