Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
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

Bronowski, Jacob

Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.

Voice of one, voice of none.
Proverb, Italian

16.
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

17.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

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

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

Hume, David

The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.
Lord Macaulay

22.
If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
Hazlitt, William

23.
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

25.
Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.
Lao-Tzu

26.
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
