Motivational Quotes
Power
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.

Best Quotes about Power
The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
Kazantzakis, Nikos
Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.
Carnegie, Andrew
Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil-the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be.
Jordan, William George
Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly
When thou standest still from thinking and willing of self, the eternal hearing, seeing, and speaking will be revealed to thee, and so God heareth and seeth through thee. Thine own hearing, willing, and seeing hindereth thee, that thou dost not see nor hear God.
Boehme, Jacob
He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.
Fuller, Thomas
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
Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.
Hoffer, Eric
Man has will, but woman has her way.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.
Charles Caleb Colton
A boy's will is the will of the wind.
Proverb, Norse
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Where does virgin wool come from? The sheep that runs the fastest.
Banks, Harry F.
Will is character in action.
Mcdougall, William
No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Colton, Charles Caleb
To achieve, you need thought.You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.
Rand, Ayn
The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
Baltasar Gracian
All things must; man is the only creature that wills.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
Shakespeare, William
Personal power is the ability to take action.
Robbins, Anthony
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.
Lord Macaulay
Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.
Apocrypha
Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Alinsky, Saul
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
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
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
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
Shaw, George Bernard
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel
He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
People do not lack strength; they lack will.
Hugo, Victor
Purchasing power is a license to purchase power.
Vaneigem, Raoul
In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Peter, Laurence J.
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri
Our power is in our ability to decide.
Fuller, Buckminster
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
With the eye made quiet by power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
Wordsworth, William
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish
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
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
You possess a potent force that you either use, or misuse, hundreds of times every day.
Kohe, J. Martin
It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
David Brin
The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.
Henrik Ibsen
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu
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
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert
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
