Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Lao-Tzu

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

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

28.
Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.
Woodrow Wilson

One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.

Eliot, T. S.

31.
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet

32.
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Paul, Jean

Dass, Ram

34.
Purchasing power is a license to purchase power.
Vaneigem, Raoul

Bruyere, Jean De La

37.
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.

38.
If power is for sale, sell your mother to buy it. You can always buy her back again.
