Best Quotes about Power

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

Not necessity, not desire --no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything --health, food, a place to live, entertainment --they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

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

When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.

Aeschylus

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

Amy Tan

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

Wieder, Marcia

Man has will, but woman has her way.

Holmes, Oliver Wendell

He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

10.

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

11.

Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.

Aquinas, St. Thomas

12.

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

Lois McMaster Bujold

13.

Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a dragon. Unless one power absorb another, it will not become great.

Proverb

14.

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

15.

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.

16.

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

Orwell, George

20.

The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.

Shakespeare, William

21.

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

Shaw, George Bernard

22.

The power to do good is also the power to do harm.

Friedman, Milton

23.

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

24.

All things must; man is the only creature that wills.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

25.

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

26.

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

Cicero, Marcus T.

27.

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

28.

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

29.

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.

Galbraith, John Kenneth

37.

You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

Capone, Al

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

Schopenhauer, Arthur

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

Barthes, Roland

41.
