Power

The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.
- Mencken, H. L.
Power Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Power

1.
To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

2.
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

3.
Man has will, but woman has her way.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

4.
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James

5.
Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.
Shaw, George Bernard

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

7.
Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
Archimedes

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

We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will permit us to use powers that we now are not even capable of imagining.
Tilney, Dr. Frederick

10.
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius

11.
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

12.
I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Thatcher, Margaret

13.
Contact with men who wield power and authority still leaves an intangible sense of repulsion. It's very like being in close proximity to fecal matter, the fecal embodiment of something unmentionable, and you wonder what it is made of and when it acquired its historically sacred character.
Baudrillard, Jean

14.
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob

15.
Power is every stealing from the many to the few.
Phillips, Wendell

16.
Personal power is the ability to take action.
Robbins, Anthony

17.
Power's footstool is opinion and his throne the human heart.
Vere, Sir Aubrey De

18.
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.
Lord Macaulay

19.
Woman's influence is powerful, especially when she wants something.
Billings, Josh

20.
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
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

22.
All things must; man is the only creature that wills.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

23.
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
Macarthur, Douglas

24.
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop

25.
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Dworkin, Andrea

26.
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

27.
Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.
Macmillan, Harold

28.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Amy Tan

29.
The point of power is always in the present moment.
Hay, Louise L.

30.
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

31.
If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca

32.
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Steinem, Gloria

33.
The greatest power is often simple patience.
Cossman, E. Joseph

34.
The need to exert power, when thwarted in the open fields of life, is the more likely to assert itself in trifles.
Cooley, Charles Horton

35.
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger

36.
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.
Rostand, Jean

37.
The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

38.
The king goes as far as he may, not as far as he could.
Proverb, Spanish

39.
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri

40.
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

41.
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Lincoln, Abraham

42.
Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
Shakespeare, William

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Power gravitates to the man who knows how.
Marden, Orison Swett

46.
Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.
Morgenthau, Hans J.

47.
Our bodies are our gardens... our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare, William

48.
Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents birth
Vizinczey, Stephen

49.
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

50.
All the power that we exercise over others depends on the power we exercise over ourselves.
Cotvos
