Dr. Thomas Fuller

3.
When one is willing and eager, the Gods join in.
Aeschylus

Nietzsche, Friedrich

James A. Garfield

15.
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

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

He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Lao-Tzu

18.

Havel, Vaclav

23.
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri

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

It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Thatcher, Margaret

31.
We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile. But we can die without it.
Lerner, Max

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

33.
In great things it is enough even to have willed.
Propertius, Sextus

In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
Peter, Laurence J.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton
