Best Quotes about Power
Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.
Hoffer, Eric
The king goes as far as he may, not as far as he could.
Proverb, Spanish
Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
He has the power who the majority believe in.
Raupach
When the will is ready the feet are light.
Proverb
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Macmillan, Harold
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
What you seek, exists within you. Every resource you need is available to you.
Wieder, Marcia
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
Man was predestined to have free will.
Luyah, Hal
What doth it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Bible
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
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
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
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert
Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.
Woodrow Wilson
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
Hooker, Richard
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
Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Steffens, Lincoln
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian
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
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca
Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes
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
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Gaddis, William
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos
Our power is in our ability to decide.
Fuller, Buckminster
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
Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.
Hoffer, Eric
Power tires only those who do not have it.
Andreotti, Giulio
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.
Mencken, H. L.
The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.
Joseph Farrell
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus
Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.
Fuller, Thomas
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Thatcher, Margaret
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.
