Best Quotes about Power
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
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.
Tillich, Paul
Those that are firm in their will mold the world to themselves.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin
Power tires only those who do not have it.
Andreotti, Giulio
Self-will so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit on.
Cecil, Richard
Do the thing and you will have the power. But they that do not the thing, had not the power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
Orwell, George
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William
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
Calmness is the cradle of power.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Lincoln, Abraham
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Macmillan, Harold
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible
He is the most powerful who has himself, in his power.
Seneca
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
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
Power corrupts, but lack of power corrupts absolutely.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Barthes, Roland
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean
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 price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
Shakespeare, William
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 is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
Covey, Stephen R.
When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.
Aeschylus
I feel it now: there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it. All becoming has need me..
Rilke, Rainer Maria
The point of power is always in the present moment.
Hay, Louise L.
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
Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.
Adams, John
A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Alinsky, Saul
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
Hendrix, Jimi
Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha
You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.
Capone, Al
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Steffens, Lincoln
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.
The secret to all power is to only do that which all would willingly do.
Kinkel
To get power over is to defile. To possess is to defile.
Weil, Simone
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu
The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
Niebuhr, Reinhold
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman
