Best Quotes about Power

1.
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean

2.
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David

Kahn, Herman

4.
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
Mann, Horace

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

7.
By time and council do the best we can: The event is never in the power of man.

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.

A. Bartlett Giamatti

11.
Men should think twice before making widow hood woman's only path to power.
Steinem, Gloria

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

13.
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob

14.
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Barthes, Roland

15.
The power to do good is also the power to do harm.
Friedman, Milton

16.
No man can ever end with being superior who will not begin with being inferior.
Smith, Sydney

17.
Power corrupts, but lack of power corrupts absolutely.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

18.
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian

All the power that we exercise over others depends on the power we exercise over ourselves.
Cotvos

He is the most powerful who has himself, in his power.
Seneca

21.
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes

22.
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Camus, Albert

23.
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

24.
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Gaddis, William

Man has will, but woman has her way.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu

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

28.
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop

29.
If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca

Weil, Simone

Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese

32.
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
