Best Quotes about Power

Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.

Bonaparte, Napoleon

He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Jordan, William George

There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.

Marden, Orison Swett

All the power that we exercise over others depends on the power we exercise over ourselves.

Cotvos

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

Macmillan, Harold

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

The king goes as far as he may, not as far as he could.

Proverb, Spanish

Seek not the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are beyond thy strength.

Apocrypha

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

John Stuart Mill

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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.
