Dada VaswaniHappiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy.

John CaudwellThe power of fear of failure, with will to win, is an incredible force. I don't think we should be worried about having a fear of failure; I think it's quite natural.

Mary Boykin ChesnutBrutal men with unlimited power are the same all over the world.101

Julie TaymorThere is incredible power in the arts to inspire and influence.101

John AvlonI believe that the far-right and the far-left can be equally insane - but there's no question that in the first years of the Obama administration, the far-right has been far crazier. In part, this comes from parties being out of power - without the responsibility of governing to ground them, the activists and the ideologues take over.101
Jose SerranoWe must do everything in our power to keep families together, and to use common sense in our immigration laws. Children deserve better than to lose a parent because of an inflexible law.101

Jodie EvansI feel truth, beauty, love, grief, anger, intimacy & alive in my body... Women in the global south live in their bodies much more than we in the global north.

Gloria SteinemPop culture shapes our ideas of what is normal and what our dreams can be and what our roles are. Politics, of course, decides how the power and the money in the country is distributed. Both are equally important, and each affects the other.102
J. K. RowlingImagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation.

Christopher ReeveWhat makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that's how I approached the part.102
David BaileyThe best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading. 102
Elizabeth EdwardsYou all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.102
Emmeline PankhurstNot by the forces of civil war can you govern the very weakest woman. You can kill that woman, but she escapes you then; you cannot govern her. No power on earth can govern a human being, however feeble, who withholds his or her consent.102
Franklin PierceThe dangers of a concentration of all power in the general government of a confederacy so vast as ours are too obvious to be disregarded.102
Fredric JamesonFor when we talk about the spreading power and influence of globalization, aren't we really referring to the spreading economic and military might of the US?102
Garry KasparovIt was not about losing my mental power; it's about not feeling good about my contribution to the game.102
Harry BrowneThe communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices.102
Isaac BarrowThat men should live honestly, quietly, and comfortably together, it is needful that they should live under a sense of God's will, and in awe of the divine power, hoping to please God, and fearing to offend Him, by their behaviour respectively.102
James DysonEngineers are behind the cars we drive, the pills we pop and the way we power our homes.102
Joan DidionGrammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power.102
Leon PanettaI think the primary message to the world is that the United States is going to remain the strongest military power in the world.102
Lord ActonLiberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.102
Louisa May AlcottYou have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.102
Mary ShelleyI do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.102
Michio KakuOur grandkids will lead the lives of the gods of mythology. Zeus could think and move objects around. We'll have that power. Venus had a perfect, timeless body. We'll have that, too. Pegasus was a flying horse. We'll be able to modify life in the future.102
Noreena HertzGovernments have been ceding power to big multinational corporations in the market. We see the manifest in a variety of ways. Where governments are giving up power to big international institutions like the World Trade Organization or NAFTA, which are disabling governments' ability to protect the rights of their own people.102
Norman FinkelsteinPeople are motivated by the desires for privilege, for power, for profit. Those are not shocking revelations. Anyone who's had any experience in life knows these things.102
NostradamusThe great empire will be torn from limb, the all-powerful one for more than four-hundred years: Great power given to the dark one from slaves come.102
Oliver TamboRacial discrimination, South Africa's economic power, its oppression and exploitation of all the black peoples, are part and parcel of the same thing.102
Oskar SchindlerI was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system.102
Oswald MosleyAnyone who knows how difficult it is to keep a secret among three men - particularly if they are married - knows how absurd is the idea of a worldwide secret conspiracy consciously controlling all mankind by its financial power; in real, clear analysis.102
Patricia CornwellI believe the root of all evil is abuse of power.102
Penn JilletteIf I had to imagine omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent power in the universe that chose to make my mother suffer, I don't know how I would make that make sense in the universe.102
PhaedrusAn alliance with a powerful person is never safe.102
Pope Benedict XVIThe church is not a political power; it's not a party, but it's a moral power.102
Sandra CisnerosI don't see any kind of mirror of power, male power, that is, as a form of liberation. I don't believe in an eye for an eye. I don't believe this is truly freedom.102
Theodore WhitePower in America today is control of the means of communication.102
TiberiusTo have command is to have all the power you will ever need. To have all the power you will ever need, is to have the world in the palm of you hand.102
Walter MartinThe Doctrine of the Trinity teaches that within the unity of the one Godhead there are three separate persons who are coequal in power, nature, and eternity.102
William Clay Ford, Jr.I'm not motivated by money or power or fame. In the end, it doesn't bring much happiness. The only thing that is driving me is self-satisfaction, self-validation.102
William E. GladstoneWe look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.102
William PittUnlimited power corrupts the possessor.102
Yochai BenklerJudges wear legal professionalism and precedent as a mantel that secures legitimacy for their decisions. It's how they distinguish themselves from politicians or administrative agencies, while wielding power that is sometimes much greater than those democratically accountable actors.102
Agnes de MilleTo dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.102
Alice WatersThis is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.102
Andrea DworkinMen have defined the parameters of every subject. All feminist arguments, however radical in intent or consequence, are with or against assertions or premises implicit in the male system, which is made credible or authentic by the power of men to name.102
Anselm KieferHistory is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.102
Bart StarrAthletic competition clearly defines the unique power of our attitude.102
C. Wright MillsPower is not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy, to have power requires access to major institutions.102
Christian SlaterI'm not a religious person by any means. But I certainly believe in some kind of a higher power and something looking out for me. I've definitely had angels that have either guided me or helped me through moments in my life, without a doubt.102
David O. McKayLet us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success!102
David Ogden StiersKids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.102
George MeredithA witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power.102
Jeanne MoreauWhen you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.102
John ActonThe fate of every democracy, of every government based on the sovereignty of the people, depends on the choices it makes between these opposite principles, absolute power on the one hand, and on the other the restraints of legality and the authority of tradition.102
John EnsignOften times, the more power and prestige a person achieves, the more arrogant a person can become.102
John W. GardnerTrue happiness involves the full use of one's power and talents. 102
Jonathan SacksTechnology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn't help us know what to say.102
Josiah Gilbert HollandCalmness is the cradle of power. 102
Kenny LogginsMy trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.102
Kevin DeYoungI try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good? Too many of our responsibilities get added to our plate when we are trying to please people, impress people, prove ourselves, acquire power, increase our prestige. All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good.102
Li Ka-shingVision is perhaps our greatest strength... it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries, it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown.102
Mark HymanThe power of community to create health is far greater than any physician, clinic or hospital.102
Robert CaroYou can use a biography to examine political power, but only if you pick the right guy.102
Soichiro HondaI could not understand how it could move under its own power. And when it had driven past me, without even thinking why I found myself chasing it down the road, as hard as I could run.102
Sophie SwetchineThere are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time.102
Stacy SchiffHere you have an incredibly ambitious, accomplished woman who comes up against some of the same problems that women in power come up against today. Cleopatra plays an oddly pivotal role in world history as well; in her lifetime, Alexandria is the center of the universe, Rome is still a backwater.102
Tony SnowTo have faith is to believe in truth, believe that truth confers special power on those lucky enough to get a little insight, and to know in our hearts that all these things come from God, which is why we should never get too cocky about our successes.102
W. H. MurrayWhatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.102
William ScrantonWhen I started walking and I looked down and I saw on the floor this water, which looked like, you know, water in your basement except it happened to be in the auxiliary building of a nuclear power plant.102
Annie Jump CannonTeaching man his relatively small sphere in the creation, it also encourages him by its lessons of the unity of Nature and shows him that his power of comprehension allies him with the great intelligence over-reaching all.102
Cathy McMorris RodgersThis year I hope to introduce legislation that would require Power Administrations to list direct and indirect costs associated with ESA compliance as a line item on customer's power bills.102
Dav PilkeyMost kids are smarter than most grown-ups. Kids see the world in black and white... They look through all the garbage and see a world run by fools and dullards and lazy people. And there's nothing they can do about it because they have no power.102
Garet GarrettLoyalty of the law-making power to the executive power was one of the dangers the political fathers foretold.102
Gary WrightMusic's staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.102
George A. SmithOur enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.102
Kim Dae JungAnd also, we are providing, you know, a nuclear power plant in the north, two light water systems, so some 4 or 5 billion dollars we are providing to meet with North Korean requests on the condition North Korea will not produce a nuclear weapon.102
Ma JianI believe that the Tibetans should have the right to control their own destinies and decide for themselves whether they want to be part of China or not. But this view isn't shared by most Chinese, or even the leaders of most Western democracies. As long as the Communist Party is in power, there is little hope for Tibet.102
Mary AstellThe scum of the People are most Tyrannical when they get the Power, and treat their Betters with the greatest Insolence.102
Nelson RockefellerAmerica is not just a power, it is a promise. It is not enough for our country to be extraordinary in might; it must be exemplary in meaning.102
Pierre de FermatBut it is impossible to divide a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into fourth powers, or generally any power beyond the square into like powers; of this I have found a remarkable demonstration. This margin is too narrow to contain it.102
Ralph MerkleNanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.102
Ramez NaamI'm a computer scientist by training. I'm also the author of three books, all of which endorse the use of biotechnology to improve the human condition. In the most recent of these, 'The Infinite Resource,' I talk about the power of innovation to save the world.102
Steve ForbesThere is something fundamentally unfair about a government that takes away so much of people's money, power, and personal control while telling them that life will be better as a result.102
Will HermesWhether the issue was black political power or nuclear power, Scott-Heron didn't mince words. His comeback record, 'I'm New Here,' doesn't mince words either, but instead of political battles, these songs suggest he's fighting personal ones.102
Ashley RickardsI'm not saying standardized tests are the worst ever, but there's an in-between and I don't think we're there yet. That's what I mean when I say I have an issue with it. There's no way a kid can learn in a class with 40 to 45 people. I had the power to get out of that system and pursue things that I wanted to do and I did that.102
Bruce Bueno de MesquitaDictators, unlike Democrats, depend on a small coterie to sustain their power. These backers, generally drawn from the military, the senior civil service, and family or clan members, have a synergistic relationship with their dictator. The dictator delivers opportunities for them to become rich, and they protect him from being overthrown.102
Carol P. ChristThe simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as a beneficent and independent power.102
Kenneth KaundaThe power which establishes a state is violence; the power which maintains it is violence; the power which eventually overthrows it is violence.102
Marcus du SautoyThe power of mathematics is often to change one thing into another, to change geometry into language.102
Michael MerzenichMy brain power depends on my retained mastery of analyzing in detail what's happening in my world and in my mind and body. I must continue to practice to retain my constructive and analytic powers. The goal is to be a master of my environment.102
Robert ConklinIf you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals.102
Ron KindFor as long as the power of America's diversity is diminished by acts of discrimination and violence against people just because they are black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Muslim or gay, we still must overcome.102
Shannen DohertyIf somebody wants to have plastic surgery, more power to them. I think there's a point where you go overboard.102
Sri AurobindoShe saw too that man has the power of exceeding himself, of becoming himself more entirely and profoundly than he is, truths which have only recently begun to be seen in Europe and seem even now too great for its common intelligence.102
Adam RickittAfter believing in promises made and never fulfilled by Labour, people have become increasingly disenchanted with the process assuming that all politicians will say anything to gain power, and then never follow through.102
Carolyn Gold HeilbrunIronically, women who acquire power are more likely to be criticized for it than are the men who have always had it.102
David SeaburyNature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.102
Mary DalyCourage to be is the key to revelatory power of the feminist revolution.102
Max StirnerBefore the sacred, people lost all sense of power and all confidence; they occupy a powerless and humble attitude toward it. And yet no thing is sacred of itself, but by declaring it sacred, by my declaration, my judgment, my bending the knee; in short, by my - conscience.102
Stefan ZweigNever can the innate power of a work be hidden or locked away. A work of art can be forgotten by time; it can be forbidden and rejected but the elemental will always prevail over the ephemeral.102
Tom Brown, Jr.Evil can be a teacher, if you look at the wisdom of its negative power.102
Bernard KatzFor as long as I care to remember, religion, like the striptease, has always been a display of the power of suggestion. Like the Virgin Birth, it has all too often supported an immaculate deception.102
Blaine LeeThe leader who exercises power with honor will work from the inside out, starting with himself.102
Michael EndeWhen it comes to controlling human beings, there is no better instrument than lies. Because you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts.102
Mike MayI love the sounds and the power of pounding water, whether it is the waves or a waterfall. 102
Jacky IckxAnd luckily, therefore the good old days return. The traditional art of driving counts again, and it is all about good tactics, skills and reflexes instead of simple power.102
Anne FrankHuman greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.103
Carl SaganWe have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.103
Edgar Allan PoeWords have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality. 103
Henry A. WallaceA fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends.103
Leo BuscagliaToo often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.103
Margaret ThatcherPower is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't. 103
Michel FoucaultThe strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.103
Thomas HobbesDuring the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man.103
Vladimir PutinWe should not just consume hydrocarbon fuel but use it to develop nuclear energy, hydro power and renewable energy sources.103
Joel OsteenEvery day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.103
John AdamsBecause power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.103
Mark ZuckerbergBy giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent.103
Benazir BhuttoMilitary dictatorship is born from the power of the gun, and so it undermines the concept of the rule of law and gives birth to a culture of might, a culture of weapons, violence and intolerance.103
Benjamin F. WadeI am not unconscious of the persuasive power exerted by these considerations to drag men along in the current; but I am not at liberty to travel that road.103
Cesar MillanAll dogs can become aggressive, but the difference between an aggressive Chihuahua and an aggressive pit bull is that the pit bull can do more damage. That's why it's important to make sure you are a hundred percent ready for the responsibility if you own a 'power' breed, like a pit bull, German shepherd, or Rottweiler.103
Daniel WebsterThe contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.103
Don Miguel RuizBe Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.103
Douglas RushkoffPart of an icon's power comes from its indivisibility. The swoosh cannot be further deconstructed into its component parts. Just as golden arches mean McDonald's, and the little red tab means Levi's, the swoosh is Nike. The product is its icon, inseparably and without exception. To buy a pair of Nike shoes is to buy the Nike swoosh.103
Ed KochStereotypes lose their power when the world is found to be more complex than the stereotype would suggest. When we learn that individuals do not fit the group stereotype, then it begins to fall apart.103
Edward GibbonBut the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.103
Erin GruwellWriting is powerful. Whether it's a little girl hiding from the Nazis in an attic, or Amnesty International writing letters on behalf of political prisoners, the power of telling stories is usually what causes change.103
Frederick the GreatA crown is merely a hat that lets the rain in.103
George MasonIn all our associations; in all our agreements let us never lose sight of this fundamental maxim - that all power was originally lodged in, and consequently is derived from, the people.103
Hope SoloI couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.103
Howard ZinnIf those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.103
Huey NewtonBlack Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.103
Irving BerlinOur attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.103
Kevin O'LearyUnions are about the collective leverage, the power of numbers versus the power of capital.103
Kid RockI like to make music, I like rap music. Even if I'm white, I support that music. If I want to support it or any other white kid wants to support it more power to them.103
Lincoln SteffensPower is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.103
Louis SullivanImplicit in true freedom of spirit lies a proud and virile will. Such glorious power of free will to choose, envisages beneficent social responsibility as manifest and welcome.103
Max WeberPower is the chance to impose your will within a social context, even when opposed and regardless of the integrity of that chance.103
Millard FillmoreUpon you, fellow-citizens, as the representatives of the States and the people, is wisely devolved the legislative power.103
Morihei UeshibaLoyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.103
Nancy GibbsA typical smart phone has more computing power than Apollo 11 when it landed a man on the moon.103
Neville ChamberlainWe should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will.103
Newt GingrichYou can't trust anybody with power.103
Oliver StoneNever underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.103
Patrick HenryWe are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.103
Paul DaviesIs there anything science should not try to explain? Science is knowledge and knowledge is power - power to do good or evil. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.103
Paul PierceMy brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.103
Pete CarrollThe thing that always strikes me is how much power one person has. Everybody has so much power to help and to change if they just exercise it and get after it.103
Ramana MaharshiIt is the Higher Power which does everything, and the man is only a tool. If he accepts that position, he is free from troubles; otherwise, he courts them.103
Rick WarrenIt is mind-boggling to me that the Almighty power created everything I see; the Bible says that God created the entire universe just so he could create this galaxy just so he could create Earth so he could create human beings so he could create a family.103
Robert PlantHow can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?103
Roger EbertLebanon was at one time known as a nation that rose above sectarian hatred; Beirut was known as the Paris of the Middle East. All of that was blown apart by senseless religious wars, financed and exploited in part by those who sought power and wealth. If women had been in charge, would they have been more sensible? It's a theory.103
Steven Van ZandtAs most of the population suffers through life, barely surviving, disappointed and confused day after day, hopeless, wondering what happened to their strong and beautiful country, it is in the media's power to restore, if not some of our quality of life, at least a bit of our peace of mind.103
Stokely CarmichaelAn organization which claims to be working for the needs of a community - as SNCC does - must work to provide that community with a position of strength from which to make its voice heard. This is the significance of black power beyond the slogan.103
Virginia PostrelNeon signs don't consume much power, but they look like they do. A cousin of fluorescent lighting, neon is actually quite energy efficient. A neon tube glows coolly when high-voltage, low-amperage electrical power excites the gas within it.103
William H. SewardIt is true, indeed, that the national domain is ours. It is true it was acquired by the valor and with the wealth of the whole nation. But we hold, nevertheless, no arbitrary power over it.103
Aaron SwartzInformation is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves.103
Alan CohenIt takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.103
Chuck HagelOur alliances should be understood as a means to expand our influence, not as a constraint on our power. The expansion of democracy and freedom in the world should be a shared interest and value with all nations.103
Cindy SheehanOur country has been overtaken by murderous thugs... gangsters who lust after fortunes and power.103
David BrainerdOnce more, Never think that you can live to God by your own power or strength; but always look to and rely on him for assistance, yea, for all strength and grace.103
David R. BrowerI was actually telling people that - by harnessing the atom - we could enter a new era of unlimited power that would do away with the need to dam our beautiful streams.103
E. Joseph CossmanThe greatest power is often simple patience.103
Erik QualmanThe power of social media is it forces necessary change.103
Geri HalliwellI just feel that the only power I have is setting a good example.103
Harmon KillebrewI didn't have evil intentions, but I guess I did have power.103
John James AudubonAll trembling, I reached the Falls of Niagara, and oh, what a scene! My blood shudders still, although I am not a coward, at the grandeur of the Creator's power; and I gazed motionless on this new display of the irresistible force of one of His elements.103
John WycliffeIn order to the existence of such a ministry in the Church, there is requisite an authority received from God, and consequently power and knowledge imparted from God for the exercise of such ministry; and where a man possesses these, although the bishop has not laid hands upon him according to his traditions, God has Himself appointed him.103
Jurgen HabermasPartisans fight on familiar territory with professed political objectives to conquer power. This is what distinguishes them from terrorists.103
Madeleine M. KuninIt's time for women to wake up, to use the power of the vote, to honor the suffragists who chained themselves to the White House fence so that women could vote.103
Rainn WilsonLife is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race, to grow and mature.103
Robert CaroWe're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.103
Robert CaseyAny man who has ever tried to use political power for the common good has felt an awful sense of powerlessness.103
Robert WebbParenting girls makes you quite gender-conscious - it's almost impossible to fight the power of pink. It's not such a terrible thing to want to be a princess when you're five, but it would be nice if there were some other options.103
Samuel GompersThe trade union movement represents the organized economic power of the workers... It is in reality the most potent and the most direct social insurance the workers can establish.103
Stewart UdallWe have, I fear, confused power with greatness.103
Susan SarandonWhen you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination, the whole world opens up to you.103
Barbara DemingTo resort to power one need not be violent, and to speak to conscience one need not be meek. The most effective action both resorts to power and engages conscience.103
James ComeyThe need for reflection and restraint of power is what led Louis Freeh to order that all new agent classes visit the Holocaust Museum here in Washington so they could see and feel and hear in a palpable way the consequences of abuse of power on a massive, almost unimaginable scale.103
Jonathan EdwardsTrue liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will.103
Joseph PulitzerThe power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations.103
Lionel TrillingWhat marks the artist is his power to shape the material of pain we all have.103
Michael BurgessNuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.103
Moshe DayanIt was in our power to set high price for our blood, a price too high for the Arab community, the Arab army, or the Arab governments to think it worth paying.103
Nelson RockefellerNever forget that the most powerful force on earth is love.103
Pierre de FermatIt is impossible for any number which is a power greater than the second to be written as a sum of two like powers. I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.103
Rosalind WisemanThe hazing experience and then the subsequent participation in the group forces its members to maintain the status quo and traditions at all costs. It demands mindlessness and unquestioned loyalty, resulting in boring people who have little ability to think for themselves or have an opposing viewpoint from those who have the most social power.103
Sean M. CarrollI don't want to give advice to people about their religious beliefs, but I do think that it's not smart to bet against the power of science to figure out the natural world. It used to be, a thousand years ago, that if you wanted to explain why the moon moved through the sky, you needed to invoke God.103
Steve SabolI think in the NFL knowledge is power, and you try to get the knowledge by whatever means.103
Tsakhiagiin ElbegdorjIt is true that power corrupts. The hope at the polling stations and the actions of the elected representatives, unfortunately, often turn to be opposite. The power of ballot turns into the power of wallet. Some law-makers become law-breakers.103
Mary Manin MorrisseyGod intended Earth. God intended the waters. God intended you and me. We were created in the image and the likeness of God; we are holograms, if you will. So the power, the presence, the energy is within you and me. The energy of God, as life, is within each of us.103
Michael W. SmithDoing the instrumental thing, you're really looking for the power of the melody to carry the record.103
Patrick MacGillMarching thus at night, a battalion is doubly impressive. The silent monster is full of restrained power; resolute in its onward sweep, impervious to danger, it looks a menacing engine of destruction, steady to its goal, and certain of its mission.103
Robbie ColtraneBelieve me, my children have more stamina than a power station.103
Gabriel HeatterMore power than all the success slogans ever penned by human hand is the realization for every man that he has but one boss. That boss is the man - he - himself.103
James NaismithI am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place.103
Roger BabsonProperty may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power; but, character, health, knowledge and good judgement will always be in demand under all conditions.103
Marsha SinetarBurning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.103
Andrew JacksonMoney is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.104
George W. BushUse power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.104
Groucho MarxI, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.104
John MuirThe power of imagination makes us infinite. 104
Thomas HobbesThe right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.104
Tony RobbinsOnly those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.104
William JamesPessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power. 104
Herbert HooverIt is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.104
John AdamsPower always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws. 104
Joseph StalinI believe in one thing only, the power of human will.104
Aleksandr SolzhenitsynYou 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.104
Arthur C. ClarkeI have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.104
Barbara JordanDo not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power.104
Bobby SealeThe first point was we wanted power to determine our own destiny in our own black community. And what we had done is, we wanted to write a program that was straightforward to the people. We didn't want to give a long dissertation.104
Charles StanleyWe can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength.104
Chris Van AllsburgThe Polar Express is about faith, and the power of imagination to sustain faith. It's also about the desire to reside in a world where magic can happen, the kind of world we all believed in as children, but one that disappears as we grow older.104
CiaraEducation is everything - education is your power, education is your way in life for whatever you want to do.104
Condoleezza RiceThe U.S. has since the end of World War II had an answer - we stand for free peoples and free markets, we are willing to support and defend them - we will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom.104
Dee Dee MyersAs women slowly gain power, their values and priorities are reshaping the agenda. A multitude of studies show that when women control the family funds, they generally spend more on health, nutrition, and education - and less on alcohol and cigarettes.104
Eddie IzzardI just believe in the goodwill of people, the power of people to do something positive.104
Emmeline PankhurstYou must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power so that you can get that equal moral standard registered in the laws of the country. It is the only way.104
Florence KelleyThis position is untenable, and there can be no pause in the agitation for full political power and responsibility until these are granted to all the women of the nation.104
George SorosWe must recognize that as the dominant power in the world we have a special responsibility. In addition to protecting our national interests, we must take the leadership in protecting the common interests of humanity.104
Glenn GreenwaldAn elite class that is free to operate without limits - whether limits imposed by the rule of law or fear of the responses from those harmed by their behavior - is an elite class that will plunder, degrade, and cheat at will, and act endlessly to fortify its own power.104
Henry AdamsA friend in power is a friend lost.104
Idina MenzelThere has to be a balance between power and vulnerability. That's something I feel I have in my own life, something I struggle with and - on a good day - like about myself.104
Joan DidionTo free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.104
John Henrik ClarkePowerful people cannot afford to educate the people that they oppress, because once you are truly educated, you will not ask for power. You will take it.104
Laura BushThe power of a book lies in its power to turn a solitary act into a shared vision. As long as we have books, we are not alone.104
Laura LinneyDoing the right thing has power.104
Lawrence M. KraussOrganized religion, wielding power over the community, is antithetical to the process of what modern democracy should define as liberty. The sooner we are without it, the better.104
Lewis MumfordThe chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.104
M. Scott PeckWhenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity.104
Nido QubeinNothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.104
Orison Swett MardenThere is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.104
Sharon SalzbergWe apply our effort to be mindful, to be aware in this very moment, right here and now, and we bring a very wholehearted effort to it. This brings concentration. It is this power of concentration that we use to cut through the world of surface appearances to get to a much deeper reality.104
Thierry HenryPoliticians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it's both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more... not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.104
Thomas J. WatsonThe toughest thing about the power of trust is that it's very difficult to build and very easy to destroy. The essence of trust building is to emphasize the similarities between you and the customer.104
Thomas MalthusThe power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man.104
Travis BradberryNegative emotions will challenge your grit every step of the way. While it's impossible not to feel your emotions, it's completely under your power to manage them effectively and to keep yourself in a position of control. When you let your emotions overtake your ability to think clearly, it's easy to lose your resolve.104
UnknownThe past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.104
Walter Savage LandorAmbition has but one reward for all: A little power, a little transient fame; A grave to rest in, and a fading name!104
Wilma RudolphNever underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.104
Wilson MiznerThe most efficient water power in the world - women's tears.104
Winona LaDukeIn the end, there is no absence of irony: the integrity of what is sacred to Native Americans will be determined by the government that has been responsible for doing everything in its power to destroy Native American cultures.104
Zygmunt BaumanAs far as love is concerned, possession, power, fusion and disenchantment are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.104
Alan MooreMagic is a state of mind. It is often portrayed as very black and gothic, and that is because certain practitioners played that up for a sense of power and prestige. That is a disservice. Magic is very colorful. Of this, I am sure.104
Bruce LiptonThrough consciousness, our minds have the power to change our planet and ourselves. It is time we heed the wisdom of the ancient indigenous people and channel our consciousness and spirit to tend the garden and not destroy it.104
Charles Horton CooleyWe have no higher life that is really apart from other people. It is by imagining them that our personality is built up; to be without the power of imagining them is to be a low-grade idiot.104
David BrinkleyNumerous politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. Never in history has the press seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians.104
David MitchellIf the human condition were the periodic table, maybe love would be hydrogen at No. 1. Death would be helium at No. 2. Power, I reckon, would be where oxygen is.104
George William RussellLove and hate have a magical transforming power. They are the great soul changers. We grow through their exercise into the likeness of what we contemplate.104
Kenny LogginsThere is trust in there being a Spirit who loves me and wants me to have love in my life. I trust in this higher power, it is what keeps me moving forward no matter what happens.104
Margaret HeffernanWhen you use words loosely, without care and consideration, you erode trust in yourself and in what you're saying. When you squander words, you diminish your power.104
Paul KagameWe cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again.104
A. N. WilsonBrain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed.104
Jack BlackWhen you think about rock at its origin, and you think of the Beatles and millions of kids screaming as loud as they can and running as fast as they can towards the Beatles, there's no one who is that kind of lightning rod, who commands that kind of power and has that kind of creative magma.104
Louise SlaughterThis House cannot function without an open, accountable, and independent ethics process; and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand.104
Maria MitchellThe world of learning is so broad, and the human soul is so limited in power!104
Rosalind WisemanWell, I think having your kids see you role model behavior of dignity when it's hard, when you're upset, when you want to confront somebody but you don't want to and you're nervous about it, when you are having moments where abuse of power is coming on to you. I think it's really important for kids to see how you handle that.104
Shari ArisonDoing good holds the power to transform us on the inside, and then ripple out in ever-expanding circles that positively impact the world at large.104
Amelia BarrBut the lover's power is the poet's power. He can make love from all the common strings with which this world is strung.104
Robert BurtonTo enlarge or illustrate this power and effect of love is to set a candle in the sun.104
Joe BartonNo one in the United States has become seriously ill or has died because of any kind of accident at a civilian nuclear power plant.104
Abraham LincolnNearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. 105
Marcus AureliusYou have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. 105
Henry A. WallaceThere are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful.105
Isaac NewtonGravity may put the planets into motion, but without the divine Power, it could never put them into such a circulating motion as they have about the Sun; and therefore, for this as well as other reasons, I am compelled to ascribe the frame of this System to an intelligent Agent.105
Malala YousafzaiWhat is interesting is the power and the impact of social media... So we must try to use social media in a good way.105
Michel FoucaultPower is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.105
Stephen CoveyEvery human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.105
Woodrow WilsonLiberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.105
James A. BaldwinThe only thing that white people have that black people need, or should want, is power-and no one holds power forever.105
William WordsworthWith an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things. 105
Chris HadfieldI don't want to be treated like I came from another planet or something or was somehow born with some weird birthright or super power. I don't view myself that way. I am a normal guy, picking up the crap from the dog and scraping the BBQ and having a beer and fixing the shed out back.105
David MametObama is a tyrant the same way FDR was a tyrant. He has a view of presidential power that states: the government is in control of the country, and the president is in charge of the government. He's taken an imperial view of the presidency.105
Dick DaleGuitar Player Magazine says Dick Dale is the father of Heavy Metal, blowing up 48 amplifiers, creating the first power amplifier.105
Elton JohnMusic has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.105
Felix DennisMoney is power. Power is an aphrodisiac.105
Gordon B. HinckleyMeekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.105
Horace MannEvery addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.105
Kevyn AucoinFear is the most debilitating emotion in the world, and it can keep you from ever truly knowing yourself and others - its adverse effects can no longer be overlooked or underestimated. Fear breeds hatred, and hatred has the power to destroy everything in its path.105
Lois LowryWhen I wrote 'The Giver,' it contained no so-called 'bad words.' It was set, after all, in a mythical, futuristic, and Utopian society. Not only was there no poverty, divorce, racism, sexism, pollution, or violence in the world of 'The Giver'; there was also careful attention paid to language: to its fluency, precision, and power.105
M. Scott PeckThe great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.105
Marc AndreessenToday's leading real-world retailer, Wal-Mart, uses software to power its logistics and distribution capabilities, which it has used to crush its competition.105
Marilyn FrenchWell, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight.105
Martin ScorseseThere are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no.105
Nicole ScherzingerGirl power is about loving yourself and having confidence and strength from within, so even if you're not wearing a sexy outfit, you feel sexy.105
Nikki ReedI think we use a lot of words and labels when trying to describe people: ones with autism, ones without autism. In general, I think that labeling people is a major issue, and people don't understand the power of language.105
Orison Swett MardenDo not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you.105
PericlesHaving knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all.105
Pierre de CoubertinThe day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die.105
Simon WiesenthalWhat connects two thousand years of genocide? Too much power in too few hands.105
Sojourner TruthTruth is powerful and it prevails.105
Ted NugentThe government is so out of control. It is so bloated and infested with fraud and deceit and corruption and abuse of power.105
Thomas J. WatsonWisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.105
Vinoba BhaveIf a man achieves victory over this body, who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world.105
Wassily KandinskyColor is a power which directly influences the soul. 105
William GlasserWe are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.105
Yehuda BergIf we were handling a bomb which could go off at any minute as a result of our actions, we would mind ourselves and be delicate. Our words have the same power, yet we wield them around as though they were powerless and insignificant.105
Anne BronteI would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself.105
Ben HarperIt will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.105
Everett DirksenThere is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come.105
Frances McDormandThe only power you have is the word no.105
Gabrielle UnionI'm not going to change the world overnight. It's one person at a time, and hopefully they're people in positions of power who can help people get in those roles and really, truly embrace colorblind casting.105
Joshua ChamberlainThe power of noble deeds is to be preserved and passed on to the future.105
Kenny LogginsThe corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was; because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power.105
Madeleine M. Kunin'Power' is an explosive word, particularly when applied to women.105
Russell BakerAh, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. 105
Theodore DreiserI believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.105
Anthony TrollopeMarvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks.105
George A. SmithPower and position often make a man trifle with the truth.105
Jon Huntsman, Jr.My sense is that we're ready for another industrial revolution in this country. The great minds and innovators of Silicon Valley would come through China and say, The pipeline is full of ideas - there's personalized medicine, biotechnology, new forms to power ourselves, clean energy, etc., etc.105
Deborah TannenEach underestimates her own power and overestimates the other's.105
James McGreeveyI realized that my truest passion was for helping people change through faith in a higher power. That meant, for me, belonging to the church. Using my abilities to bring Christian doctrine to a postmodern world.105
Martin Luther King, Jr.We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.106
Edmund BurkeThe greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse. 106
EpictetusThere is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.106
Jim MorrisonExpose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.106
Nikola TeslaIf we want to reduce poverty and misery, if we want to give to every deserving individual what is needed for a safe existence of an intelligent being, we want to provide more machinery, more power. Power is our mainstay, the primary source of our many-sided energies.106
Susan B. AnthonyThe older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball - the further I am rolled the more I gain.106
Thomas HobbesThe obligation of subjects to the sovereign is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth by which he is able to protect them.106
Tony RobbinsUsing the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.106
Viktor E. FranklBetween stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.106
Robert A. HeinleinNever underestimate the power of human stupidity. 106
Adam SchiffAmerica has a critical role to play as the most powerful member of the world community.106
Ai WeiweiChina has not established the rule of law and if there is a power above the law there is no social justice. Everybody can be subjected to harm. I'm just a citizen: my life is equal in value to any other. But I'm thankful that when I lost my freedom so many people shared feelings and put such touching effort into helping me.106
Arnold J. ToynbeeSooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.106
Benjamin HarrisonThere never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life.106
Chris MartinEveryone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I'm the only person who can't understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they're not that great. These are questions everyone has.106
Dita Von TeeseDon't underestimate the cosmetic power of sunglasses. It's worth spending a bit of money on a quality pair. I usually go for Dior or Louis Vuitton.106
Edwin LandThe most important thing about power is to make sure you don't have to use it.106
Greg AndersonAlthough our inattention can contribute to our lack of total well-being, we also have the power to choose positive behaviors and responses. In that choice we change our every experience of life!106
Harold WilsonWhichever party is in office, the Treasury is in power.106
James MonroeThe right of self defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals, and whether the attack be made by Spain herself or by those who abuse her power, its obligation is not the less strong.106
Jose MartiJust as he who gives his life to serve a great idea is admirable, he who avails himself of a great idea to serve his personal hopes of glory and power is abominable, even if he too risks his life.106
Karlie KlossBallet really taught me so much about the power of movement.106
Kathleen HannaYou learn that the only way to get rock-star power as a girl is to be a groupie and bare your breasts and get chosen for the night. We learn that the only way to get anywhere is through men. And it's a lie.106
Ken BlanchardIn the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.106
Lysander SpoonerThe right and the physical power of the people to resist injustice, are really the only securities that any people ever can have for their liberties. Practically no government knows any limit to its power but the endurance of the people.106
Margaret J. WheatleyToo many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than intelligence.106
Marianne WilliamsonIn every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.106
Muhammad Ali JinnahThere are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.106
Nathan FillionI like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.106
Patti SmithPeople have the power to redeem the work of fools.106
Robert WinstonBy discovering how our minds work, we can improve our learning power and unlock our true potential.106
Samuel AdamsThe natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.106
Scott WalkerSo let me be clear, Collective bargaining isn't a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people.106
Thomas MalthusThe superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice.106
Wendell PhillipsEternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few.106

Barbara CorcoranDon't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.106
C. Wright MillsPrestige is the shadow of money and power.106
Dada VaswaniEnthusiasm is the greatest asset you can possess, for it can take you further than money, power or influence.106
Dario FoI am the jongleur. I leap and pirouette, and make you laugh. I make fun of those in power, and I show you how puffed up and conceited are the big shots who go around making wars in which we are the ones who get slaughtered. I reveal them for what they are. I pull out the plug, and... pssss... they deflate.106
Jane McGonigalFor most people, an hour a day playing our favorite games will power up our ability to engage whole-heartedly with difficult challenges, strengthen our relationships with the people we care about most - while still letting us notice when it's time to stop playing in virtual worlds and bring our gamer strengths back to real life.106
Jim HightowerPopulists have always been out to challenge the orthodoxy of the corporate order and to empower workaday Americans so they can control their own economic and political destinies. This approach distinguishes the movement from classic liberalism, which seeks to live in harmony with concentrated corporate power by trying to regulate excesses.106
Jon MeachamWithout education, we are weaker economically. Without economic power, we are weaker in terms of national security. No great military power has ever remained so without great economic power.106
Michael FrantiMusic has the power to bring people together like no other art form.106
Sebastian VettelIt was an unbelievable experience! The brakes, the g-forces and the power of the engine are beyond description. Thanks to BMW and WilliamsF1 for giving me this chance to test. The test team looked after me brilliantly and I learnt plenty.106
Shakti GawainWhen we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness, looking instead for authority, validation, and approval from others, we give our personal power away.106
William Moulton MarstonEvery crisis offers you extra desired power.106
Radhanath SwamiWhen love is pure, it has the power to conquer. Lover and beloved conquer each other by their affection. The source, the essence, the fullest manifestation of love's conquering power is the love of the soul for the supreme soul, or God.106
AristotleAnybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.107
Thomas JeffersonOur country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.107
David HumeThe law always limits every power it gives.107
Eckhart TollePower over others is weakness disguised as strength.107
Henry A. WallaceIf we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.107
Malala YousafzaiThe terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.107
Peter DruckerToday knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement. 107
James MadisonThe people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived.107
Mao ZedongPolitical power grows out of the barrel of a gun.107
Mary WollstonecraftIf women be educated for dependence; that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop?107
P. J. O'RourkeGiving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. 107
Sitting BullIt is through this mysterious power that we too have our being, and we therefore yield to our neighbors, even to our animal neighbors, the same right as ourselves to inhabit this vast land.107
Ai WeiweiCensorship is saying: 'I'm the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine.' But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word - even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper.107
Alfred AdlerThe educator must believe in the potential power of his pupil, and he must employ all his art in seeking to bring his pupil to experience this power.107
Benjamin SpockThe child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.107
Camille PagliaI say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society's care.107
Gary ZukavThe more aware of your intentions and your experiences you become, the more you will be able to connect the two, and the more you will be able to create the experiences of your life consciously. This is the development of mastery. It is the creation of authentic power.107
Harvey FiersteinArt has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.107
Jean de La FontaineAnyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people.107
John C. CalhounWe ought not to forget that the government, through all its departments, judicial as well as others, is administered by delegated and responsible agents; and that the power which really controls, ultimately, all the movements, is not in the agents, but those who elect or appoint them.107
Josh BillingsThere's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.107
Kate ChopinSome people are born with a vital and responsive energy. It not only enables them to keep abreast of the times; it qualifies them to furnish in their own personality a good bit of the motive power to the mad pace.107
Keith HaringRed is one of the strongest colors, it's blood, it has a power with the eye. That's why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well... In fact I use red in all of my paintings.107
Lysander SpoonerIf physical power be the fountain of law, then law and force are synonymous terms. Or, perhaps, rather, law would be the result of a combination of will and force; of will, united with a physical power sufficient to compel obedience to it, but not necessarily having any moral character whatever.107
Max WeberPolitics means striving to share power or striving to influence the distribution of power, either among states or among groups within a state.107
Milan KunderaTrue human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power.107
Pat RobertsonIt seems to me the Washington Monument is a symbol of America's power. It has been the symbol of our great nation. We look at the symbol and we say 'this is one nation under God.'107
Reese WitherspoonThe joy we get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into something that's not necessarily anything true to ourselves. And it's a power - not being yourself, and being in the role; it's just like another prop.107
Sebastian JungerI went to Afghanistan in '96 to write about terrorist training camps south of Jalalabad and Tora Bora, in the mountains. I was there right before the Taliban took over, literally a few weeks before they took Kabul. The frontline wasn't terribly active, but it was definitely there. And they swept into power.107
Sergey BrinWe've seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea; we're seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world.107
Stanley KubrickThe screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.107
Stephen KinzerRevolutionaries who come to power by force of arms usually have great crimes in their background. Leaders who survive campaigns by great powers to destroy them do not survive because they observe the niceties of law. Subversives who shape world events by covert action and violence work in shadows and detest the light of day.107
Yoko OnoThe human race is a very, very magical race. We have a magic power of witches and wizards. We're here on this earth to unravel the mystery of this planet. The planet is asking for it.107
Alexis CarrelThose who desire to rise as high as our human condition allows, must renounce intellectual pride, the omnipotence of clear thinking, belief in the absolute power of logic.107
Dario FoAll forms of power - even based on the consensus of the democratic system - react when they are being attacked, or when those who exercise power become a target.107
Gary HamelThe real damper on employee engagement is the soggy, cold blanket of centralized authority. In most companies, power cascades downwards from the CEO. Not only are employees disenfranchised from most policy decisions, they lack even the power to rebel against egocentric and tyrannical supervisors.107
Gwen StefaniBefore, I was really passive, all I cared about was being in love with my boyfriend. I didn't have any creative power, nothing. I don't know that person any more.107
Jeb BushWe need to end the government monopoly in education by transferring power from bureaucracies and unions to families. The era of defining public education as allegiance to centralized school districts must end.107
Julian CasablancasReligion is never the problem; it's the people who use it to gain power.107
Georg BuchnerThe power of the people and the power of reason are one.107
Eric SevareidNext to power without honor, the most dangerous thing in the world is power without humor.107
PlatoThe measure of a man is what he does with power. 108
Baruch SpinozaAmbition is the immoderate desire for power.108
Bernie SandersDo the elected officials in Washington stand with ordinary Americans - working families, children, the elderly, the poor - or will the extraordinary power of billionaire campaign contributors and Big Money prevail? The American people, by the millions, must send Congress the answer to that question.108
Gloria SteinemWe'll never solve the feminization of power until we solve the masculinity of wealth.108
Malala YousafzaiWhen the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful. 108
Michel FoucaultIf repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.108
Nikola TeslaThe spread of civilisation may be likened to a fire; first, a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in speed and power.108
Kofi AnnanEducation is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.108
Abigail AdamsArbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken.108
Charles de MontesquieuThe sublimity of administration consists in knowing the proper degree of power that should be exerted on different occasions.108
Edward G. Bulwer-LyttonPower is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.108
Hugo ChavezOne of the greatest rebels, who I really admire: Christ. He was a rebel. He ended up being crucified. He was a great rebel. He rebelled against the established power that subjugated.108
Lewis B. SmedesYou will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.108
Oswald ChambersIf in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.108
Peace PilgrimIf you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. 108
Philip ZimbardoHeroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.108
Phillips BrooksDo not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. 108
Ralph EllisonIf the word has the potency to revive and make us free, it has also the power to blind, imprison, and destroy.108
Sandra BullockNo one has proof that I know of, that a higher power exists, yet a major portion of the world believes in it and relies on it in faith in trust, in what that is. Where is the science in that? And yet you have incredible belief in that.108
Sylvester StalloneI believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.108
Thom YorkeSo ultimately, it's idealistic to think that artists are able to step away from the power of the media and the way it controls things, and go on doing their own things.108
Thomas HuxleyI protest that if some great Power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right, on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and would up every morning before I got out of bed, I should instantly close with the offer.108
Thurgood MarshallOur whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men's minds.108
Jean RostandA 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.108
Jerry LewisThis is the pain pacemaker. I've got a battery under my skin. From that battery are two electrodes that go into the spine where they cut bone away to accommodate it. Now I put on the power here. If I have the pain, the stimulator starts. It's tingling, like when your foot falls asleep, you know?108
Joseph Franklin RutherfordThe holy spirit means the invisible power of Jehovah, holy because he is holy. This power of Jehovah operated upon the minds of honest men who loved and who were devoted to righteousness, directing them in the writing of the Bible.108
Lawrence G. LovasikKind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world.108
Mahatma GandhiPower is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.109
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWe spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.109
Simon SinekStarbucks was founded around the experience and the environment of their stores. Starbucks was about a space with comfortable chairs, lots of power outlets, tables and desks at which we could work and the option to spend as much time in their stores as we wanted without any pressure to buy. The coffee was incidental.109
Stephen HawkingI would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming.109
Vaclav HavelThe exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.109
Alexander the GreatI had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.109
John LydonWe need wealthy dogs off the seats of power. They're taking us back to feudalism and I really don't want that. But I'm very far from being a socialist.109
Julius CaesarFortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.109
Alanis MorissetteI think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.109
Chuck PalahniukOnly through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.109
Friedrich SchillerPower is the most persuasive rhetoric.109
Honore de BalzacEquality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact. 109
John Quincy AdamsNip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.109
Larry PageInvention is not enough. Tesla invented the electric power we use, but he struggled to get it out to people. You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.109
Linus TorvaldsTo be honest, the fact that people trust you gives you a lot of power over people. Having another person's trust is more powerful than all other management techniques put together.109
Louisa May AlcottConceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.109
Muhammad YunusUnprecedented technological capabilities combined with unlimited human creativity have given us tremendous power to take on intractable problems like poverty, unemployment, disease, and environmental degradation. Our challenge is to translate this extraordinary potential into meaningful change.109
Peace PilgrimThe way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.109
Richard J. DaleyPower is dangerous unless you have humility.109
Salman RushdieWhat one writer can make in the solitude of one room is something no power can easily destroy.109
Sheryl SandbergIt's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.109
Willa CatherThe miracles of the church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always.109
Robert AnthonyWhen you blame others, you give up your power to change. 109
Sri AurobindoIndia saw from the beginning, and, even in her ages of reason and her age of increasing ignorance, she never lost hold of the insight, that life cannot be rightly seen in the sole light, cannot be perfectly lived in the sole power of its externalities.109
AristotleThe one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching. 110
John F. KennedyI look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.110
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelMere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.110
George OrwellLiberal: a power worshipper without power.110
Rene DescartesWhen it is not in our power to follow what is true, we ought to follow what is most probable.110
James MadisonThe truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.110
Johnny DeppI was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots.110
Meister EckhartWords derive their power from the original word.110
Alexander Graham BellWhat this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.110
Alicia KeysI feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It's universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I've learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.110
Barbara De AngelisNo one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.110
David A. BednarThe Holy Ghost is manifested to men and women on the earth both as the power and as the gift of the Holy Ghost. The power can come upon a person before baptism; it is the convincing witness that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.110
Edward AbbeyPower is always dangerous. Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best. 110
Edward G. Bulwer-LyttonA reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.110
Freeman DysonWhat the world needs is a small, compact, flexible fusion technology that could make electricity where and when it is needed. The existing fusion program is leading to a huge source of centralized power, at a price that nobody except a government can afford.110
George LucasThe story being told in 'Star Wars' is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you're in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they're actually not.110
John Greenleaf WhittierGive fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.110
MaimonidesNow, we occupy a lowly position, both in space and rank in comparison with the heavenly sphere, and the Almighty is Most High not in space, but with respect to absolute existence, greatness and power.110
Mason CooleyMoney: power at its most liquid.110
Morihei UeshibaAlways keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.110
Pierre CorneilleA true king is neither husband nor father; he considers his throne and nothing else.110
Mariska HargitayIt's a life's journey of finding ourselves, finding our power, and living for yourself, not for everyone else.110
Michael LeunigThe hypocrisy of some is that we like to think of ourselves as sophisticated and evolved, but we're still also driven by primal urges like greed and power.110
Spiro T. AgnewThe American people should be made aware of the trend toward monopolization of the great public information vehicles and the concentration of more and more power over public opinion in fewer and fewer hands.110
Benjamin DisraeliCircumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.111
Henry A. KissingerDiplomacy: the art of restraining power.111
James MadisonI believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.111
Joel OsteenYou can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.111
Julius CaesarIf you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it. 111
Alice WalkerThe most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any. 111
Benjamin F. WadeSir, I am no sycophant or worshipper of power anywhere.111
Bobby SealeRevolution is about the need to re-evolve political, economic and social justice and power back into the hands of the people, preferably through legislation and policies that make human sense. That's what revolution is about. Revolution is not about shootouts.111
Denis DiderotNo man has received from nature the right to command his fellow human beings.111
Eartha KittDr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.111
F. Sionil JoseIndeed, the existence of class, of social hierarchy, is as old as man himself. It prevails in the jungle where strength determines hierarchy; among men, it has also been savagely the same, whereby rulers vested with power through personal combat, or through lineal heritage as in the case of royalty, ravage their subjects.111
Friedrich August von HayekTo act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm.111
George SorosBush's war in Iraq has done untold damage to the United States. It has impaired our military power and undermined the morale of our armed forces. Our troops were trained to project overwhelming power. They were not trained for occupation duties.111
Jeremy BenthamThe power of the lawyer is in the uncertainty of the law.111
Lord ActonAnd remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that.111
Muhammad IqbalVision without power does bring moral elevation but cannot give a lasting culture.111
Ralph NaderA leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.111
River PhoenixWhen I was old enough to realize all meat was killed, I saw it as an irrational way of using our power, to take a weaker thing and mutilate it. It was like the way bullies would take control of younger kids in the schoolyard.111
Walter AnnenbergThe greatest power is not money power, but political power.111
Yoko OnoRemember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.111
Friedrich NietzscheAll things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.112
Clint EastwoodIt takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.112
W. E. B. Du BoisThe power of the ballot we need in sheer defense, else what shall save us from a second slavery?112
Indira GandhiThe power to question is the basis of all human progress. 112
NasDJs play a big responsibility of what hip-hop is doing... At the end of the day, it's up to us to control and to own hip-hop. DJs need to challenge us rappers. They got so much power, they need to challenge us.112
Henri NouwenThe greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity or power, but self-rejection. 112
Herbert HooverOnce upon a time my political opponents honored me as possessing the fabulous intellectual and economic power by which I created a worldwide depression all by myself.112
Jane GoodallFrom my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.112
Daniel GolemanOne way to boost our will power and focus is to manage our distractions instead of letting them manage us.112
Elisabeth Kubler-RossConsciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy.112
Eric HofferThe only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future. 112
Harry BrowneA Libertarian society of unfettered individualism spreads its benefits to virtually everyone - not just those who have the resources to seize political power.112
Horatio NelsonIf a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.112
Margaret J. WheatleyEven though worker capacity and motivation are destroyed when leaders choose power over productivity, it appears that bosses would rather be in control than have the organization work well.112
ParacelsusMany have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in medicines.112
PlutarchTo make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.112
Reinhold NiebuhrGoodness, armed with power, is corrupted; and pure love without power is destroyed. 112
Samuel SmilesEnthusiasm... the sustaining power of all great action.112
Ted CruzThe Obama administration came into Utah and said, 'We're not going to listen to what the U.S. Supreme Court said. 'We, the federal government, are going to recognize marriages in the state of Utah and Utah state law explicitly does not recognize as marriage,' and that was really, in my view, an abuse of power.112
James BuchanFor 50 years, nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium, lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task, and most of the cost, of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.112
Lao TzuMastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. 113
F. Scott FitzgeraldEither you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.113
John Stuart MillThe only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.113
Abigail AdamsI am more and more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power, whether vested in many or a few, is ever grasping, and like the grave, cries, 'Give, give.'113
Hannah ArendtRevolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up.113
Alfred A. MontapertQuestion: Why are we Masters of our Fate, the captains of our souls? Because we have the power to control our thoughts, our attitudes. That is why many people live in the withering negative world. That is why many people live in the Positive Faith world.113
Ani DiFrancoA lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.113
CherWomen have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.113
George MacDonaldTo have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.113
Henry B. EyringIf you reflect often on how His Atonement has changed you, and if you give thanks often, you will find that your witness of Him gains power to touch the hearts of others. When those you invite out of your own testimony feel that witness, they will come to accept Him as their Lord and Savior.113
Honore de BalzacThere is no such thing as a great talent without great will power. 113
Rick WarrenI serve a higher power, Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.113
Robert CollierYour real self - the 'I am I' - is master of this land, the ruler of this empire. You rightfully have power and dominion over it, all its inhabitants, and all contained in its realm.113
Wole SoyinkaPower is domination, control, and therefore a very selective form of truth which is a lie.113
Junot DiazStudents teach all sorts of things but most importantly they make explicit the courage that it takes to be a learner, the courage it takes to open yourself to the transformative power of real learning and that courage I am exposed to almost every day at MIT and that I'm deeply grateful for.113
Rita Mae BrownLanguage exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.113
Eckhart TolleIf small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small.114
John MuirThere is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.114
Stephen BannonIf you stay true to yourself and true to your vision and your own values, you can power through and make an impact on modern life.114
Dennis PragerIf we weren't born with anti-social passions - narcissism, envy, lust, meanness, greed, hunger for power, just to name the more obvious - why the need for so many laws, whether religious or secular, that govern behavior?114
Samuel JohnsonKindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.114
Anne LamottYour problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.114
Henri MatisseA picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.114
Howard SchultzI was taken by the power that savoring a simple cup of coffee can have to connect people and create community.114
James AllenMan is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.114
John Kenneth GalbraithIn the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.114
Morihei UeshibaOne does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.114
Paul WellstonePolitics is not about power.114
Samuel ButlerA physician's physiology has much the same relation to his power of healing as a cleric's divinity has to his power of influencing conduct.114
Stokely CarmichaelSo that the failures to pass a civil rights bill isn't because of Black Power, isn't because of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; it's not because of the rebellions that are occurring in the major cities.114
Anita HillThe real problem is that the way that power is given out in our society pits us against each other.114
Charles de SecondatPower ought to serve as a check to power.114
Don DeLilloPeople who are powerless make an open theater of violence.114
Sloane CrosleyAh, the power of two. There's nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills, parenting, cooking elaborate meals, purchasing a grown-up bed, jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?114
Pat BuckleyI believe in the power of weakness.114
AristotleThe ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.115
George WashingtonFew men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder. 115
PlatoThere will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.115
George OrwellNationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception. 115
Rene DescartesExcept our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.115
Henry Ward BeecherThe art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. 115
Edward de BonoMany highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven.115
Emile M. CioranWoes and wonders of Power, that tonic hell, synthesis of poison and panacea.115
Lauryn HillI do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.115
Lord ActonThe science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.115
Muhammad Ali JinnahCome forward as servants of Islam, organise the people economically, socially, educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.115
Sydney J. HarrisIf a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?115
William Ellery ChanningNo power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.115
William HazlittThe love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. 115
Sloane CrosleyThe year most of my high school friends and I got our driver's permits, the coolest thing one could do was stand outside after school and twirl one's car keys like a lifeguard whistle. That jingling sound meant freedom and power.115
George WashingtonArbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.116
John F. KennedyWhen power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.116
Ayn RandEvery man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.116
Fyodor DostoevskyPower is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!116
Gloria SteinemI hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers.116
Ben CarsonWe need to understand that we are not each others' enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction. It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction... that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are.116
Booker T. WashingtonCharacter is power. 116
James A. BaldwinThe power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions.116
Ai WeiweiPolice in China can do whatever they want; after 81 days in arbitrary detention you clearly realise that they don't have to obey their own laws. In a society like this there is no negotiation, no discussion, except to tell you that power can crush you any time they want - not only you, your whole family and all people like you.116
Alice WalkerThis is a wonderful planet, and it is being completely destroyed by people who have too much money and power and no empathy.116
Barney FrankCapitalism works better from every perspective when the economic decision makers are forced to share power with those who will be affected by those decisions.116
Christopher MarloweWhat are kings, when regiment is gone, but perfect shadows in a sunshine day?116
Drew BarrymoreI'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.116
Isabel AllendeWhat I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.116
Ted CruzThe power of the American people, when we rise up and stand for liberty, knows no bounds.116
Allen KleinThroughout history, great leaders have known the power of humor.116
Bruce LeeThe less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be. 117
Leonardo da VinciNothing strengthens authority so much as silence. 117
Napoleon BonapartePower is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me.117
Booker T. WashingtonThere is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life.117
Marcus Tullius CiceroIn a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.117
Arthur AsheWe must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men.117
Bernard BaruchThere is something about inside information which seems to paralyse a man's reasoning powers.117

Miguel de CervantesNever stand begging for that which you have the power to earn. 118

Elon MuskIt's not as though we can keep burning coal in our power plants. Coal is a finite resource, too.

John AdamsLiberty, according to my metaphysics is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power.201

Kurt VonnegutActually, to be an effective person politically in this country, I think you have to be thirty or over, and also you have to be rich, well-placed, you have to be close to power.

Charles de GaulleSilence is the ultimate weapon of power.212

Ralph Waldo EmersonNothing external to you has any power over you.317
Steve JobsThis revolution, the information revoultion, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It's very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt bulb to run it and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now?317

Abraham LincolnIt is not my nature, when I see a people borne down by the weight of their shackles - the oppression of tyranny - to make their life more bitter by heaping upon them greater burdens; but rather would I do all in my power to raise the yoke than to add anything that would tend to crush them.413

Abraham LincolnFor my part, I desire to see the time when education - and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry - shall become much more general than at present, and should be gratified to have it in my power to contribute something to the advancement of any measure which might have a tendency to accelerate the happy period.424
Thomas JeffersonThe constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.506
Abraham LincolnAny people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.515
