Best Quotes about Power
Every man has enough power left to carry out that of which he is convinced.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.
Mencken, H. L.
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Kissinger, Henry
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
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
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
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
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David
A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.
Syrus, Publilius
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan
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
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
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
Mann, Horace
Self-will so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit on.
Cecil, Richard
If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you.
Eliot, T. S.
He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.
Adams, John
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
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.
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
The one who wills is the one who can.
Proverb
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
Shakespeare, William
If power is for sale, sell your mother to buy it. You can always buy her back again.
Proverb, Arabian
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
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Steffens, Lincoln
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Lincoln, Abraham
Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
The secret to all power is to only do that which all would willingly do.
Kinkel
We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly.
Bruyere, Jean De La
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet
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
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian
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
Power tires only those who do not have it.
Andreotti, Giulio
When the will is ready the feet are light.
Proverb
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
Baltasar Gracian
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible
