Power quotes

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Knowledge is power.

We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.

It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.

To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.

The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.

Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.

Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper.

Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.

Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well.

The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.

The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves.

It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable.

The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish.

The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.

Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

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

One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?

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

We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.

Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.

Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation.

Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
