Best Quotes about Power
The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
Baltasar Gracian
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
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin
He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.
Fuller, Thomas
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
Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius
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
If power is for sale, sell your mother to buy it. You can always buy her back again.
Proverb, Arabian
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
No man can ever end with being superior who will not begin with being inferior.
Smith, Sydney
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha
Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.
Genet, Jean
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri
What doth it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Bible
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Thatcher, Margaret
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Man was predestined to have free will.
Luyah, Hal
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.
Mencken, H. L.
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb
All things must; man is the only creature that wills.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William
Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a dragon. Unless one power absorb another, it will not become great.
Proverb
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob
To achieve, you need thought.You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.
Rand, Ayn
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
I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
Macarthur, Douglas
Nothing can withstand the power of the human will if it is willing to stake its very existence to the extent of its purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Camus, Albert
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power -- he's free again.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
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
A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.
Syrus, Publilius
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
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
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Bevan, Aneurin
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman
Power tires only those who do not have it.
Andreotti, Giulio
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Russell, Bertrand
