Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.
Lao-Tzu

2.
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

3.
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb

4.
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob

5.
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
Stewart L. Udall

6.
The greatest power is often simple patience.
Cossman, E. Joseph

7.
The will of man is his happiness.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

8.
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert

9.
The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.
Havel, Vaclav

10.
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert

11.
A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Gaddis, William

15.
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James

16.
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

17.
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri

18.
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
Shakespeare, William

19.
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.

20.
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse

21.
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

22.
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos

23.
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

24.
In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

25.
Woman's influence is powerful, especially when she wants something.
Billings, Josh

26.
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Steffens, Lincoln

27.
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.

28.
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

29.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

30.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

31.
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

32.
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Bevan, Aneurin

33.
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
John Lehman

34.
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew

35.
A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength. [Proverbs 24:5]
Bible

36.
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

37.
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

38.
Personal power is the ability to take action.
Robbins, Anthony

39.
Will it, and set to work briskly.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

40.
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop

41.
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.
Lord Macaulay

42.
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

43.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton

Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian

Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Alinsky, Saul

48.
Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.
Swift, Jonathan

If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William

50.
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
Macarthur, Douglas
