Power

I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmitted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmitted into a power that can move the world.
- Gandhi, Mahatma
Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
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

2.
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

3.
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin

4.
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca

5.
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

6.
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea

7.
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
Barthes, Roland

8.
What you seek, exists within you. Every resource you need is available to you.
Wieder, Marcia

9.
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.

10.
All the power that we exercise over others depends on the power we exercise over ourselves.
Cotvos

11.
The creation of a thousand forest in one acorn.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
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

13.
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop

14.
Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil-the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be.
Jordan, William George

15.
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Bevan, Aneurin

16.
If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you.
Eliot, T. S.

17.
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

18.
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Gaddis, William

19.
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

20.
What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter.
Drucker, Peter F.

21.
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

22.
No man can ever end with being superior who will not begin with being inferior.
Smith, Sydney

23.
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David

24.
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

25.
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos

26.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan

27.
Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.
Friedman, Milton

28.
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus

29.
Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian

30.
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish

31.
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse

32.
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca

33.
Where does virgin wool come from? The sheep that runs the fastest.
Banks, Harry F.

34.
The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
Baltasar Gracian

35.
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

36.
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible

37.
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

38.
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

39.
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De

40.
Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.
Bacon, Francis

41.
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus

42.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu

43.
The power to do good is also the power to do harm.
Friedman, Milton

44.
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
Shaw, George Bernard

45.
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

46.
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.

47.
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

48.
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Russell, Bertrand

49.
Power over a man's subsistence amounts to power over his will.
Hamilton, Alexander

50.
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
