Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.
Capone, Al

2.
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes

3.
Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X

4.
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

5.
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean

6.
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Russell, Bertrand

7.
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca

13.
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.

14.
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Cicero, Marcus T.

15.
Man has will, but woman has her way.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

16.
He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.
Fuller, Thomas

17.
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu

18.
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.

19.
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea

20.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

21.
All things must; man is the only creature that wills.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

22.
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

23.
We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.
Tillich, Paul

24.
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Bevan, Aneurin

25.
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible

26.
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De

27.
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

28.
Our power is in our ability to decide.
Fuller, Buckminster

29.
Power corrupts, but lack of power corrupts absolutely.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

30.
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

31.
If power is for sale, sell your mother to buy it. You can always buy her back again.
Proverb, Arabian

32.
Woman's influence is powerful, especially when she wants something.
Billings, Josh

33.
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

34.
Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

35.
A word after a word after a word is power.
Atwood, Margaret

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
If school results were the key to power, girls would be running the world.
Boseley, Sarah

39.
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?

I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Thatcher, Margaret

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
