Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

4.
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

5.
Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.
Hill, Napoleon

6.
Contact with men who wield power and authority still leaves an intangible sense of repulsion. It's very like being in close proximity to fecal matter, the fecal embodiment of something unmentionable, and you wonder what it is made of and when it acquired its historically sacred character.
Baudrillard, Jean

7.
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
Hooker, Richard

8.
By time and council do the best we can: The event is never in the power of man.
Herrich

9.
Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

10.
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Barthes, Roland

11.
I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmitted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmitted into a power that can move the world.
Gandhi, Mahatma

12.
Power in America today is control of the means of communication.
White, Theodore

13.
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger

15.
If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you.
Eliot, T. S.

16.
Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.
Mizner, Addison

17.
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
Shakespeare, William

18.
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

19.
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Russell, Bertrand

24.
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus

25.
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
Robert F. Kennedy

26.
Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.
Bacon, Francis

27.
The creation of a thousand forest in one acorn.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
Power never takes a step back except in the face of more power.
Malcolm X

29.
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

30.
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold

31.
The king goes as far as he may, not as far as he could.
Proverb, Spanish

32.
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer

33.
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

34.
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

35.
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

36.
With the eye made quiet by power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
Wordsworth, William

37.
If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William

38.
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel

39.
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman

40.
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David

41.
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
Unlimited power corrupts the possessor.
Pitt, William

43.
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian

44.
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

45.
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
Mann, Horace

46.
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid

47.
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

48.
Man was predestined to have free will.
Luyah, Hal

49.
Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.
Fuller, Thomas

50.
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
