Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
The law always limits every power it gives.
Hume, David

2.
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

3.
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Paul, Jean

4.
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

5.
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop

7.
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes

8.
Contact with men who wield power and authority still leaves an intangible sense of repulsion. It's very like being in close proximity to fecal matter, the fecal embodiment of something unmentionable, and you wonder what it is made of and when it acquired its historically sacred character.
Baudrillard, Jean

9.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese

10.
A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
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

12.
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
Robert F. Kennedy

13.
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill

14.
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus

15.
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

16.
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu

17.
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Camus, Albert

18.
There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.
Marden, Orison Swett

19.
Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a dragon. Unless one power absorb another, it will not become great.
Proverb

20.
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

21.
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

22.
If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William

23.
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert

24.
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel

25.
Our power is in our ability to decide.
Fuller, Buckminster

26.
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

27.
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
Macarthur, Douglas

28.
To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that.
Castaneda, Carlos

29.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan

30.
If school results were the key to power, girls would be running the world.
Boseley, Sarah

31.
The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.
Joseph Farrell

32.
If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca

33.
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

34.
Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
Carnegie, Dale

35.
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin

36.
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos

37.
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

38.
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.

39.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

40.
Self-will so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit on.
Cecil, Richard

41.
To get power over is to defile. To possess is to defile.
Weil, Simone

42.
The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
Niebuhr, Reinhold

43.
When the will is ready the feet are light.
Proverb

44.
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

45.
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Cicero, Marcus T.

46.
All the power that we exercise over others depends on the power we exercise over ourselves.
Cotvos

47.
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall

48.
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

49.
No man can ever end with being superior who will not begin with being inferior.
Smith, Sydney

50.
There is an urgent need -- in fact a national survival need -- for invigorating intellectual life, for upgrading the general regard for intellectual excellence. The United States must experience an intellectual renaissance or it will experience defeat. The time cannot be far off -- if indeed it is not already here -- when the strength of a nation, measured in terms of any kind of world competition, will depend less on the number of its bombs than on the number of its learned men.
Roper, Elmo
