Best Quotes about Power
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
The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
Niebuhr, Reinhold
Power in America today is control of the means of communication.
White, Theodore
In great things it is enough even to have willed.
Propertius, Sextus
In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
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
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
He is the most powerful who has himself, in his power.
Seneca
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
Shakespeare, William
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew
Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.
Mizner, Addison
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
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 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
Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
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
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
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
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible
I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.
Frost, Robert
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
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet
If power is for sale, sell your mother to buy it. You can always buy her back again.
Proverb, Arabian
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
Power over a man's subsistence amounts to power over his will.
Hamilton, Alexander
Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.
Genet, Jean
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.
Personal power is the ability to take action.
Robbins, Anthony
When the will is ready the feet are light.
Proverb
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
With the eye made quiet by power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
Wordsworth, William
Power never takes a step back except in the face of more power.
Malcolm X
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
People do not lack strength; they lack will.
Hugo, Victor
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean
Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a dragon. Unless one power absorb another, it will not become great.
