Best Quotes about Power
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Steinem, Gloria
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Steffens, Lincoln
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The one who wills is the one who can.
Proverb
The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
Baltasar Gracian
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.
Foucault, Michel
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.
Fuller, Thomas
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
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
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
The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
Niebuhr, Reinhold
Those that are firm in their will mold the world to themselves.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
Macarthur, Douglas
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid
When the will is ready the feet are light.
Proverb
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
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
Hooker, Richard
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Woman's influence is powerful, especially when she wants something.
Billings, Josh
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew
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
If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you.
Eliot, T. S.
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
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.
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
Self-will so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit on.
Cecil, Richard
Calmness is the cradle of power.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert
I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Thatcher, Margaret
To get power over is to defile. To possess is to defile.
Weil, Simone

Schopenhauer, Arthur
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
