Best Quotes about Power
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Alinsky, Saul
By time and council do the best we can: The event is never in the power of man.
Herrich
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
The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.
Havel, Vaclav
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.
Jefferson, Thomas
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

Raupach
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible
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
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
The greatest power is often simple patience.
Cossman, E. Joseph
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.
Friedman, Milton
Woman's influence is powerful, especially when she wants something.
Billings, Josh
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
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
Mann, Horace
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
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Barthes, Roland
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will permit us to use powers that we now are not even capable of imagining.
Tilney, Dr. Frederick
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
Free will and determinism are like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism. The way you play your hand is free will.
Cousins, Norman
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
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
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
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob
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
We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile. But we can die without it.
Lerner, Max
Personal power is the ability to take action.
Robbins, Anthony
To create power is like a magnet, this is true because this creative power operates like a magnet. Give it a strong clear picture of what you want and this creative power starts to work magnetizing conditions about you -- attracting to you things, resources, opportunities, circumstances and even the people you need, to help bring to pass in your outer life what you have pictured.
Bristol, Claude M.
Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Steinem, Gloria
There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do.
Singer, Isaac Bashevis
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Macmillan, Harold
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew
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
Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
