Power

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
Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
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

2.
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
Macarthur, Douglas

3.
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

4.
If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William

5.
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

6.
To create power is like a magnet, this is true because this creative power operates like a magnet. Give it a strong clear picture of what you want and this creative power starts to work magnetizing conditions about you -- attracting to you things, resources, opportunities, circumstances and even the people you need, to help bring to pass in your outer life what you have pictured.
Bristol, Claude M.

7.
Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

8.
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

9.
Every man has enough power left to carry out that of which he is convinced.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

10.
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

11.
What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter.
Drucker, Peter F.

12.
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold

13.
Power over a man's subsistence amounts to power over his will.
Hamilton, Alexander

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.
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David

16.
Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a dragon. Unless one power absorb another, it will not become great.
Proverb

17.
Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.
Fuller, Thomas

18.
The most exquisite paradox as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all.As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.
Dass, Ram

19.
Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.
Friedman, Milton

20.
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

22.
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

23.
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.
Lord Macaulay

24.
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius

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

26.
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

27.
When the will is ready the feet are light.
Proverb

28.
He is the most powerful who has himself, in his power.
Seneca

29.
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

30.
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer

31.
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid

32.
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents birth
Vizinczey, Stephen

34.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

35.
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

36.
Power never takes a step back except in the face of more power.
Malcolm X

37.
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian

38.
If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca

39.
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen

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

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

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

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

Calmness is the cradle of power.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert

45.
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De

46.
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish

47.
The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
Baltasar Gracian

48.
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Gaddis, William

49.
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.

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