Covey, Stephen R.
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
Power in America today is control of the means of communication.
White, Theodore
Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
James A. Garfield

Hugo, Victor
If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca
The most exquisite paradox as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all.As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.
Dass, Ram
Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.
Mizner, Addison
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
Nothing can withstand the power of the human will if it is willing to stake its very existence to the extent of its purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus

Steffens, Lincoln

Castaneda, Carlos
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
If power is for sale, sell your mother to buy it. You can always buy her back again.
Proverb, Arabian

Singer, Isaac Bashevis
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha

Wieder, Marcia
The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
Niebuhr, Reinhold
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
