Best Quotes about Power
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton
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
A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength. [Proverbs 24:5]
Bible
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
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius
Power over a man's subsistence amounts to power over his will.
Hamilton, Alexander
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
Patton, George S.
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
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill
The one who wills is the one who can.
Proverb
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Barthes, Roland
Our power is in our ability to decide.
Fuller, Buckminster
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Unlimited power corrupts the possessor.
Pitt, William
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William
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.
You commit a sin of omission if you do not utilize all the power that is within you. All men have claims on man, and to the man with special talents, this is a very special claim. It is required that a man take part in the actions and clashes of his time that the peril of being judged not to have lived at all.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
The power to do good is also the power to do harm.
Friedman, Milton
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
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
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
Mann, Horace
Personal power is the ability to take action.
Robbins, Anthony
With the eye made quiet by power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
Wordsworth, William
By time and council do the best we can: The event is never in the power of man.
Herrich
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
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Macmillan, Harold
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De
Every man has enough power left to carry out that of which he is convinced.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Russell, Bertrand
I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Thatcher, Margaret
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Camus, Albert
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.
Mizner, Addison
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
All the power that we exercise over others depends on the power we exercise over ourselves.
Cotvos
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Steffens, Lincoln
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
He has the power who the majority believe in.
Raupach
Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X
Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
