Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
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

2.
A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.
Syrus, Publilius

3.
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Macmillan, Harold

4.
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold

5.
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

6.
Those that are firm in their will mold the world to themselves.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
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

8.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan

9.
Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.
Bacon, Francis

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

11.
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Gaddis, William

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

13.
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

14.
Calmness is the cradle of power.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert

15.
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
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

18.
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes

19.
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew

20.
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

21.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese

Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian

The look of a king is itself a deed.
Paul, Jean

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
Covey, Stephen R.

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The power to do good is also the power to do harm.
Friedman, Milton

30.
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop

31.
There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do.
Singer, Isaac Bashevis

32.
With the eye made quiet by power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
Wordsworth, William

33.
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
