Best Quotes about Power
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish
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
There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.
Marden, Orison Swett
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel
Power tires only those who do not have it.
Andreotti, Giulio
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin
Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.
Hoffer, Eric
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Power-worship blurs political judgment because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.
Orwell, George
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
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.
A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.
Syrus, Publilius
Power intoxicates men. When a man is intoxicated by alcohol, he can recover, but when intoxicated by power, he seldom recovers.
Byrnes, James F.
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
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall
Every man has enough power left to carry out that of which he is convinced.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman
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
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
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
All things must; man is the only creature that wills.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De
Where there is a will there is a lawsuit.
Mizner, Addison
The point of power is always in the present moment.
Hay, Louise L.
What you seek, exists within you. Every resource you need is available to you.
Wieder, Marcia
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
Purchasing power is a license to purchase power.
Vaneigem, Raoul
I feel it now: there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it. All becoming has need me..
Rilke, Rainer Maria
Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
He has the power who the majority believe in.
Raupach
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
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
Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.
Bacon, Francis
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea
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
Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
It is difficult to find a reputable American historian who will acknowledge the crude fact that a Franklin Roosevelt, say, wanted to be President merely to wield power, to be famed and to be feared. To learn this simple fact one must wade through a sea of
Vidal, Gore
The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind -- not the fiend or the sadist.
Fromm, Erich
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
People do not lack strength; they lack will.
Hugo, Victor
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Macmillan, Harold
No man can ever end with being superior who will not begin with being inferior.
Smith, Sydney
In oratory the will must predominate.
Hare, David
