Cecil, Richard
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen
Power gravitates to the man who knows how.
Marden, Orison Swett
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Lincoln, Abraham
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
Hooker, Richard
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
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James
To achieve, you need thought.You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.
Rand, Ayn
Man was predestined to have free will.
Luyah, Hal
Every man has enough power left to carry out that of which he is convinced.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob
Power intoxicates men. When a man is intoxicated by alcohol, he can recover, but when intoxicated by power, he seldom recovers.
Byrnes, James F.
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
Calmness is the cradle of power.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert
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
In great things it is enough even to have willed.
Propertius, Sextus
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel
Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.
Fuller, Thomas
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
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Steffens, Lincoln
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill
By time and council do the best we can: The event is never in the power of man.
Herrich
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Not necessity, not desire --no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything --health, food, a place to live, entertainment --they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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.
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 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
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
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus
The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.
Joseph Farrell
He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu
Purchasing power is a license to purchase power.
Vaneigem, Raoul
I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Thatcher, Margaret
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
All, or the greatest part of men that have aspired to riches or power, have attained thereunto either by force or fraud, and what they have by craft or cruelty gained, to cover the foulness of their fact, they call purchase, as a name more honest. Howsoever, he that for want of will or wit useth not those means, must rest in servitude and poverty.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
James A. Garfield
A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.
Syrus, Publilius
Those that are firm in their will mold the world to themselves.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.
Lao-Tzu
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Peter, Laurence J.
Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.
Bacon, Francis
