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

7.
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

Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

13.
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall

14.
The need to exert power, when thwarted in the open fields of life, is the more likely to assert itself in trifles.
Cooley, Charles Horton

15.
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca

16.
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

17.
It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
David Brin

18.
Authority is not power; that's coercion. Authority is not knowledge; that's persuasion, or seduction. Authority is simply that the author has the right to make a statement and to be heard.
Kahn, Herman

19.
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen

20.
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

21.
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

When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.

Power tires only those who do not have it.
Andreotti, Giulio

26.
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

27.
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly

28.
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

29.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu

30.
You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.
Capone, Al

31.
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David

32.
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

33.
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.
