Best Quotes about Power

Power intoxicates men. When a man is intoxicated by alcohol, he can recover, but when intoxicated by power, he seldom recovers.

Byrnes, James F.

Man has will, but woman has her way.

Holmes, Oliver Wendell

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.

Lao-Tzu

Voice of one, voice of none.

Proverb, Italian

Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Kissinger, Henry

The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.

Niebuhr, Reinhold

When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.

Aeschylus

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

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

Men should think twice before making widow hood woman's only path to power.

Steinem, Gloria

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

We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.

Stephen Vincent Benet

If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?

Harry Shearer

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

Power is the by-product of understanding.

Bronowski, Jacob

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.

Tennyson, Lord Alfred

Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.

Amiel, Henri Frederic

There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do.

Singer, Isaac Bashevis

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

He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

With the eye made quiet by power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.

Wordsworth, William

The point of power is always in the present moment.

Hay, Louise L.

Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.

Mann, Horace

The creation of a thousand forest in one acorn.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.

Dworkin, Andrea

He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.

Fuller, Thomas

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

Camus, Albert

When the will is ready the feet are light.

Proverb

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

Bible

Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.

Haliburton, Thomas C.

The look of a king is itself a deed.

Paul, Jean

Man was predestined to have free will.

Luyah, Hal

Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.

Mizner, Addison

If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you.

Eliot, T. S.

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

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

Friedman, Milton

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.

Baldwin, James

Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.

Swift, Jonathan

Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Power over a man's subsistence amounts to power over his will.

Hamilton, Alexander

The greatest power is often simple patience.

Cossman, E. Joseph

Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.

Bacon, Francis

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

Morgenthau, Hans J.

Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
