Best Quotes about Power
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Ovid
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos
All things must; man is the only creature that wills.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Calmness is the cradle of power.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert
Power gravitates to the man who knows how.
Marden, Orison Swett
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop
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
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
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Our power is in our ability to decide.
Fuller, Buckminster
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De
All the power that we exercise over others depends on the power we exercise over ourselves.
Cotvos
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
Shakespeare, William
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Bevan, Aneurin
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
Shaw, George Bernard
The point of power is always in the present moment.
Hay, Louise L.
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri
He is the most powerful who has himself, in his power.
Seneca
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.
Authority is not power; that's coercion. Authority is not knowledge; that's persuasion, or seduction. Authority is simply that the author has the right to make a statement and to be heard.
Kahn, Herman
Will is character in action.
Mcdougall, William
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman
Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Alinsky, Saul
Man was predestined to have free will.
Luyah, Hal
A word after a word after a word is power.
Atwood, Margaret
A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Free will and determinism are like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism. The way you play your hand is free will.
Cousins, Norman
Willingness is essential in any initiation or in making an dream come true. I can t often means I won t. You can change I won t to I will with willpower.
Wieder, Marcia
The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.
Joseph Farrell
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
By time and council do the best we can: The event is never in the power of man.
Herrich
He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.
Fuller, Thomas
No man is wise enough, or 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
Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
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
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
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
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
Carnegie, Dale
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
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
Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.
Hill, Napoleon
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall
