Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James

2.
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.

3.
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

4.
Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents birth
Vizinczey, Stephen

5.
The appetite for power, even for universal power, is only insane when there is no possibility of indulging it; a man who sees the possibility opening before him and does not try to grasp it, even at the risk of destroying himself and his country, is either
Weil, Simone

6.
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

7.
Unlimited power corrupts the possessor.
Pitt, William

8.
Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

9.
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible

10.
To get power over is to defile. To possess is to defile.
Weil, Simone

11.
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall

12.
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea

13.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan

14.
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

15.
The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

16.
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

17.
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean

18.
Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

19.
A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough to make us worthy of using it.
Rostand, Jean

20.
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet

21.
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

22.
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

26.
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

27.
It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
David Brin

28.
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

29.
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob

30.
The one who wills is the one who can.
Proverb

31.
Do the thing and you will have the power. But they that do not the thing, had not the power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

32.
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Russell, Bertrand

33.
Power in America today is control of the means of communication.
White, Theodore

34.
In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Peter, Laurence J.

35.
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel

36.
The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind -- not the fiend or the sadist.
Fromm, Erich

37.
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
Robert F. Kennedy

38.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu

39.
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.

40.
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold

41.
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

42.
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

43.
All, or the greatest part of men that have aspired to riches or power, have attained thereunto either by force or fraud, and what they have by craft or cruelty gained, to cover the foulness of their fact, they call purchase, as a name more honest. Howsoever, he that for want of will or wit useth not those means, must rest in servitude and poverty.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

44.
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. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well.
A. Bartlett Giamatti

45.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton

46.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
Hendrix, Jimi

47.
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.

48.
Personal power is the ability to take action.
Robbins, Anthony

49.
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert

50.
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen
