Best Quotes about Power

1.
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power -- he's free again.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

2.
In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Peter, Laurence J.

Marden, Orison Swett

The law always limits every power it gives.
Hume, David

If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca

6.
The most exquisite paradox as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all.As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.
Dass, Ram

7.
Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
Carnegie, Dale

8.
Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
James A. Garfield

9.
Nothing can withstand the power of the human will if it is willing to stake its very existence to the extent of its purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

10.
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

11.
Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

12.
Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe

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

14.
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

15.
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
Aeschylus

16.
Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.
Foucault, Michel

17.
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Bevan, Aneurin

18.
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca

Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X

Rand, Ayn

21.
Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.
Genet, Jean

22.
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Thatcher, Margaret

23.
Do the thing and you will have the power. But they that do not the thing, had not the power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
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

25.
Self-will so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit on.
Cecil, Richard

26.
The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
Baltasar Gracian

27.
The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind -- not the fiend or the sadist.
Fromm, Erich

28.
To get power over is to defile. To possess is to defile.
Weil, Simone

29.
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

30.
He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Camus, Albert

32.
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

33.
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse

34.
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

35.
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.

Kahn, Herman

Kinkel

47.
A word after a word after a word is power.
Atwood, Margaret

Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
Orwell, George

49.
To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that.
Castaneda, Carlos

50.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
