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

Best Quotes about Power
Power gravitates to the man who knows how.
Marden, Orison Swett
If you sit in judgment, investigate, if you sit in supreme power, sit in command.
Seneca
Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
Carnegie, Dale
What a person wills and not what they know determines their worth or unworth, power or impotence, happiness or unhappiness.
Lindner, Robert
The power to do good is also the power to do harm.
Friedman, Milton
Napoleon for the sake of a good name broke in pieces half the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
In great things it is enough even to have willed.
Propertius, Sextus
The greatest power is often simple patience.
Cossman, E. Joseph
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Man has will, but woman has her way.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca
Louis the XVI knew how to love, pardon, and die: had he known how to punish, he would have known how to reign.
Tilly
Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
Proverb, Chinese
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
Power is the by-product of understanding.
Bronowski, Jacob
Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
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
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Baldwin, James
The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.
Bannister, Roger
If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.
Proverb, Yiddish
Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.
Hill, Napoleon
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
We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly.
Bruyere, Jean De La
The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Job 1:21]
Bible
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Aldrich, Withrop
No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.
Seneca
A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength. [Proverbs 24:5]
Bible
To achieve, you need thought.You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.
Rand, Ayn
Ten persons who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
Hendrix, Jimi
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Einstein, Albert
When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.
Aeschylus
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.
John Stuart Mill
No man can ever end with being superior who will not begin with being inferior.
Smith, Sydney
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
Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Alinsky, Saul
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
Hooker, Richard
Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.
Woodrow Wilson
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
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Accius
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
Russell, Bertrand
