Quotations by Subject: Power (34 quotes)

Results from Cole's Quotables:

If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of potential -- for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints; possibility never.: Søren Kierkegaard
All human power is a compound of time and patience.: Honore de Balzac (1799 - 1850)
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.: Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory
Talent finds its models, methods, and ends in society, exists for exhibition, and goes to the soul only for power to work. Genius is its own end, and draws its means and the style of its architecture from within.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882), The Method of Nature (1841)
Man has responsibility, not power.: Tuscarora proverb
Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.: Honore de Balzac (1799 - 1850)

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

...no man of genuinely superior intelligence has ever been an actor. Even supposing a young man of appreciable mental powers to be lured upon the stage, as philosophers are occasionally lured into bordellos, his mind would be inevitably and almost immediately destroyed by the gaudy nonsense issuing from his mouth every night.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.: Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existance. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
