Swift, Jonathan

A boy's will is the will of the wind.

Proverb, Norse

Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.

Dr. Thomas Fuller

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

Herrich

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

The law always limits every power it gives.

Hume, David

No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.

Macmillan, Harold

The man whose authority is recent is always stern.

Aeschylus

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

I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.

Thatcher, Margaret

A word after a word after a word is power.

Atwood, Margaret

The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.

Schopenhauer, Arthur

Every man has enough power left to carry out that of which he is convinced.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

Alinsky, Saul

In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.

Galbraith, John Kenneth

A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.

Cicero, Marcus T.

Power is the by-product of understanding.

Bronowski, Jacob

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.

Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.

Amiel, Henri Frederic

Lord Macaulay

Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

Proverb, Chinese

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.

The price of power is responsibility for the public good.

Aldrich, Withrop

Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.

Steinem, Gloria

No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.

Seneca

Cossman, E. Joseph

We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.

Stewart L. Udall

The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
