True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
No matter what has happened, you too have the power to enjoy yourself.
Allen Klein
Every dollar spent on nuclear is one less dollar spent on clean renewable energy and one more dollar spent on making the world a comparatively dirtier and a more dangerous place, because nuclear power and nuclear weapons go hand in hand.
Mark Z. Jacobson
It 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.
Ramana Maharshi
We will use political power as a tool to improve the lives of the people.
Mayawati
A witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power.
George Meredith
One 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.
Hugo Chavez
Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet.
Robert Charles Winthrop
I believe the root of all evil is abuse of power.
Patricia Cornwell
We need money. We need hits. Hits bring money, money bring power, power bring fame, fame change the game.
Young Thug
Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation – not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.
Barack Obama
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
There is no man more dangerous, in a position of power, than he who refuses to accept as a working truth the idea that all a man does should make for rightness and soundness, that even the fixing of a tariff rate must be moral.
Ida Tarbell
Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.
Richard Dawkins
Any 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.
Abraham Lincoln
What a newspaper needs in its news, in its headlines, and on its editorial page is terseness, humor, descriptive power, satire, originality, good literary style, clever condensation, and accuracy, accuracy, accuracy!
Joseph Pulitzer
No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent.
John Jay
Power has no limits.
Tiberius
What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The 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.
James Madison
If I said it once, I’ll say it again: ‘We have the power to change everything.’
Yehuda Berg
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.
C. S. Lewis
By giving people the power to share, we’re making the world more transparent.
Mark Zuckerberg
I didn’t become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.
Tom Cruise

David O. McKay
The power to question is the basis of all human progress.
Indira Gandhi
There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Everett Dirksen
I feel as though, if you’re able to control your dreams, you have more power and control over your mind, like you could reach more areas of your mind. Therefore, I feel like it creates the ability for you to achieve more things in reality.
Juice Wrld
You 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.
Emmeline Pankhurst
More and more I think of privatisation as being not just about the takeover of resources and power by corporate interests, but as the retreat of citizens to private life and private space, screened from solidarity with strangers and increasingly afraid or even unable to imagine acting in public.
Rebecca Solnit
We’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.
Robert Caro
Dictators fall when they’re overconfident; they stay in power when they’re paranoid.
Masha Gessen
If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.

James Monroe
I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is easy to predict that some of the discoveries of research directed towards Grand Challenges – but only the most unexpected ones, and at the most unexpected times – will be the basis of revolutionary improvements in the way that we exploit the power of our future computing devices.
Tony Hoare
Another mode of accumulating power arises from lifting a weight and then allowing it to fall.
Charles Babbage

Virginia Woolf
Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
Kofi Annan
A politician’s goal is always to manipulate public debate. I think there are some politicians with higher goals. But all of them get corrupted by power.
Dean Koontz
My mother taught me about the power of inspiration and courage, and she did it with a strength and a passion that I wish could be bottled.
Carly Fiorina
Because of the power of neuroplasticity, you can, in fact, reframe your world and rewire your brain so that you are more objective. You have the power to see things as they are so that you can respond thoughtfully, deliberately, and effectively to everything you experience.
Elizabeth Thornton
I am a woman, and I am a Latina. Those are the things that make my writing distinctive. Those are the things that give my writing power.
Sandra Cisneros
Color is a power which directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.
Robert Frost
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody is as powerful as we make them out to be.
Alice Walker
Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.
Wole Soyinka
All facts prove that the Saenuri Party is a group of traitors who stoop to any infamy to realize its ambition to seize power.
Park Geun-hye
As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it.
Corazon Aquino
Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.
Andrew Jackson
When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness, looking instead for authority, validation, and approval from others, we give our personal power away.
Shakti Gawain
Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey.
Denis Diderot
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
George Orwell
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Epicurus
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
Richard Bach
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
Voltaire
Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel’s song, which had lost its way and come on Earth, and sang on undyingly, smiting the hearts of men with sweetest wounds, and putting for the while an angel’s nature into us.
Frederick William Faber
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
John Ray
Calmness is the cradle of power.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
To 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.
Tiberius
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
Jim Morrison
If the Devil can only make you think that you are abused or ill treated, and you begin to fret about it, and you give the Devil power over you – in the end, it is as bad as though you had done wrong yourself.
Brigham Young
Meekness 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.
Gordon B. Hinckley
But only art and music have the power to bring peace.
Yoko Ono
There is no limit to the power of loving.
John Morton
You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Part of the problem is there are people in Washington, D.C. in positions of power to whom the border is just a nuisance, and I think some of them believe that illegal immigration is a moral good. It is not. It undermines legal immigration.
John Kennedy
Do not borrow the productions of other men’s brains and pens and recite them as a lesson; but make the most of the talents, the brain power, that God has given you.
Ellen G. White
We now have to see our country surrender to the enemy without demonstrating our power up to 120 percent. We are now on a course for a humiliating peace – or, rather, a humiliating surrender.
Hideki Tojo
When the body of the people is possessed of the supreme power, it is called a democracy.
Montesquieu
The 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.
Thomas Jefferson
Happiness, 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. If you have everything the world can give – pleasure, possessions, power – but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy.
Dada Vaswani
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.
Peace Pilgrim
Social media is a very, very powerful tool. It also gives power to tools.

There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.
John M. Grunsfeld
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
John Dalberg-Acton
Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable.
Robert Greene
The timelessness of a concept has to be woven into the running warp of dying time, vertical power has to be wedded to the horizontal earth.
Ella Maillart
The point of power is always in the present moment.
Louise L. Hay
I retired from public Business from a thorough Conviction that it was not in my Power to do any Good, and very much disgusted with Measures, which appeared to me inconsistent with common Policy and Justice.
George Mason
Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.
Henry Kissinger
I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
Saint Teresa of Avila
Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.
George Washington
In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.

Henri Nouwen
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Friedrich Schiller
What are kings, when regiment is gone, but perfect shadows in a sunshine day?
Christopher Marlowe
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
Washington Irving
Everybody has something that chews them up and, for me, that thing was always loneliness. The cinema has the power to make you not feel lonely, even when you are.
Tom Hanks
Your 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.
Anne Lamott
Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.
Napoleon Hill
Music has the power to inspire the world.
Bad Bunny

I’m a true believer in the strength of teamwork, in the power of dreams, and in the absolute necessity of a support structure.
Julie Payette
To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that’s real power.
Ayn Rand
One should never forbid what one lacks the power to prevent.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.
Ice Cube
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
Pearl S. Buck
My life will not be defined by a single political campaign. Those will come and go. But what has driven me to run for elected office in the past still drives me today: the knowledge that heroes do walk among us with tremendous strength and power.
Darryl Glenn
Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen.
Pete Carroll
What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.
Aristotle
The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.

Kit Harington
If kids can forget their own mothers but still have a sense of comrade Lenin, then Soviet power really is here to stay!
Andrei Platonov
Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.
Abigail Adams
The 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.
Thomas J. Watson
A nuclear power reactor is just a fancy way of boiling water.
Leslie Dewan
Once all the power goes out, there will still be human beings standing together around a campfire, playing acoustic guitars.
Jim James
I believe in one power, and that is the hand of God. I respect all religions.
Lata Mangeshkar
The advantage of the analytical approach is that it is widely applicable, and it can provide a considerable amount of quantitative information even with a relatively poor resolving power.
Christian de Duve
I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.
Mary Shelley
O thou great, unknown Power! Thou Almighty God, who hast lighted up reason in my breast and blessed me with immortality! I have frequently wandered from that order and regularity necessary for the perfection of thy works, yet thou hast never left me nor forsaken me.
Robert Burns
Mystical references to society and its programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats.
Thomas Sowell
But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.
Edward Gibbon
Anyone who has seen the auto factories in Detroit and the oil fields in Texas knows that Japan lacks the national power for a naval race with America.
Isoroku Yamamoto
Having power and being in a position of power can really blur your judgement, and it’s not always that clear.
Bob Morley
It is not according to my mode of doing things, to bring a suit against a man that I have the power in my own hands to punish.
Cornelius Vanderbilt
Man’s greatness lies in his power of thought.
Blaise Pascal
Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The 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.
George Lucas
Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
Epictetus
When leaders take back power, when they act as heroes and saviors, they end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and deeply stressed.
Margaret J. Wheatley
Unlimited power corrupts the possessor.
William Pitt
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If 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.
Michel Foucault
If you’re lucky enough to be famous, then it’s great if you can use your fame and the power your fame gives you to draw attention to things that really matter.
Michael Schumacher
Every 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.
Joel Osteen
The only real power comes out of a long rifle.
Joseph Stalin
The point – the power to hurt – of all figures lies in the truthfulness of their application.
Abraham Lincoln
Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.
Theodor W. Adorno
Power without a nation’s confidence is nothing.
Catherine the Great
Power 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.
Michel Foucault
Music has the power to divert the violent minds.
Ilaiyaraaja
Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who posses it; and this I know, my lords: that where law ends, tyranny begins.
William Pitt
With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.
Henry A. Wallace

Power is the great aphrodisiac.
Henry Kissinger
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
George Washington
I just don’t believe in love at first sight anymore, even though I’ve based my whole career on the concept. In my experience, power, money and influence always attract the opposite sex. It’s something that I’ve always exploited – with good results.
Hugh Grant
I want to remind the new generation about the power of old school romance.
Jubin Nautiyal
Every 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.
Stephen Covey
A 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.
Samuel Butler
Nothing is more gratifying to the mind of man than power or dominion.
Joseph Addison
The 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.
Stanley Kubrick
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Mark Twain
Don’t underestimate the power of your vision to change the world. Whether that world is your office, your community, an industry or a global movement, you need to have a core belief that what you contribute can fundamentally change the paradigm or way of thinking about problems.
Leroy Hood
The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.
Lao Tzu
Dr. 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.
Eartha Kitt
Whoever is new to power is always harsh.
Aeschylus
The 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.
James Monroe
The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.
Toni Morrison
The eye sees what it brings the power to see.
Thomas Carlyle
Our democracy is designed to speak truth to power.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Unprecedented 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.
Muhammad Yunus
All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.
Thomas Jefferson
The ’60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.

It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self.
Francis Bacon
What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If the power to do hard work is not a skill, it’s the best possible substitute for it.
James A. Garfield
Lipstick is the most valuable weapon in a woman’s make-up kit. It has the power to transform the appearance and mood of the person wearing it, and, at the same time, arouses the admiration of everybody else.
Monica Bellucci
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Aldous Huxley
Power has only one duty – to secure the social welfare of the People.
Benjamin Disraeli
Man has the power to act as his own destroyer – and that is the way he has acted through most of his history.
Elon Musk
The only countries that have successfully moved from fossil fuels to low-carbon power have done so with the help of nuclear energy.
Michael Shellenberger
You know, if you think about it, the most powerful people on this earth probably never raise their voices – they just say it and people hop to, because they have that power.
Erika Slezak
I love long power walks in the countryside.
Alice Temperley
All 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.
Cesar Millan
Technology 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.
Jonathan Sacks
Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.
Vladimir Lenin
The power and energy sectors are the biggest constituents of the infrastructure sector. If you ignore them, no development will happen.
Narendra Modi
I don’t want to be fake. I’m just being me. And I have the power to break stereotypes and whatever useless rules that society puts on us.
Bad Bunny
Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.
Michael C. Burgess
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.
David Brin
The principles of a free constitution are irrecoverably lost, when the legislative power is nominated by the executive.
Edward Gibbon
We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
William Glasser
I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back.
Eli Whitney
The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.

The future condition of the conquered power depends on the will of the conquerer.
Thaddeus Stevens
The earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth.
Chanakya
Nuclear power is a young technology – there’s so much more to be discovered. That’s what makes it so exciting to me. Yes, there are problems, but innovative people are going to be able to come up with solutions and bring the technology to its full potential.
Leslie Dewan
Flags are about proclaiming power… that visibility is key to our success and to our justice.
Gilbert Baker
I’m not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that.
Paris Hilton
I 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.
Camille Paglia
Your dreams are what define your individuality. They have the power to give you wings and make you fly high.
P. V. Sindhu
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
Richard P. Feynman
Never underestimate the power of the ocean.
Heidi Klum
We really have the power to illuminate all negative things in our life, but we have to find that light source inside of us and really tap in with it and reconnect with it.
Kyle
What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
C. S. Lewis
I feel like knowledge is power: If you know how to take care of yourself, you can be a better version of yourself.
Miranda Kerr
Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art. They seem to be the purpose of God for his whole creation.
Richard Holloway
There is an urgent need to stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, dramatically reduce wasted energy, and significantly shift our power supplies from oil, coal, and natural gas to wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable energy sources.
Bill McKibben
Strong government doesn’t mean simply military power or an efficient intelligence apparatus. Instead, it should mean effective, fair administration – in other words, ‘good governance.’
Raghuram Rajan
Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility.
Robin Morgan
I 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.
Gloria Steinem
Information flow is what the Internet is about. Information sharing is power. If you don’t share your ideas, smart people can’t do anything about them, and you’ll remain anonymous and powerless.
Vint Cerf
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead life to sovereign power.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Throughout history, great leaders have known the power of humor.
Allen Klein
The only power you have is the word no.
Frances McDormand
The United States is the world’s best hope, but if you fetter her in the interests and quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her power for good and endanger her very existence.
Henry Cabot Lodge
The 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.
John Stuart Mill
The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world’s definitions.
James Baldwin
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance – the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.
Thomas Carlyle
Words, without power, is mere philosophy.
Muhammad Iqbal
We should remember that there are nations which meet more than 30 to 60% of their power requirements through the nuclear power system.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
The better we understand how identities and power work together from one context to another, the less likely our movements for change are to fracture.
Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
The power which establishes a state is violence; the power which maintains it is violence; the power which eventually overthrows it is violence.
Kenneth Kaunda
The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour.
William James
Our 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.
Thomas Jefferson
I came from a middle-class family. My dad was a professor; my mom was a nurse. I didn’t come from money, and I didn’t come from circles of power. I didn’t come from the country club; I came from the town park.
Megyn Kelly
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.
George Bernard Shaw
Negotiations are a euphemism for capitulation if the shadow of power is not cast across the bargaining table.
George P. Shultz
Invention 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.
Larry Page
Religion is never the problem; it’s the people who use it to gain power.
Julian Casablancas
In a world of complex threats, our security and leadership depends on all elements of our power – including strong and principled diplomacy.
Barack Obama
When 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.
John F. Kennedy
We 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.
William E. Gladstone
People have the power to redeem the work of fools.
Patti Smith
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius

Plutarch
I don’t have power or money and one-sided media support or the inclination to stoop to any level for the sake of power.
Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy

Blaise Pascal
The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.
Aristotle
It was very lucky for me as a writer that I studied the physical sciences rather than English. I wrote for my own amusement. There was no kindly English professor to tell me for my own good how awful my writing really was. And there was no professor with the power to order me what to read, either.
Kurt Vonnegut
Ambition is the immoderate desire for power.
Baruch Spinoza
Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.

Wayne Dyer
Power is the measure of the degree of control you have over circumstances in your life and the actions of the people around you.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good man is he who rules himself as he does his own property: his autonomous being is modelled on material power.

P. J. O’Rourke
Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.
Aristotle
Force always attracts men of low morality.
Albert Einstein
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.
William Clay Ford, Jr.
As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power.
Thomas Aquinas
Adolescence, that swampy zone between safety and power, is best patrolled by adults armed with sense and mercy, not guns and a badge.
Nancy Gibbs
I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.
Beyonce Knowles
Stereotypes 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.

Ronald Reagan
When you have the power of music within your soul and your heart, nothing can stop you.
Joey Jordison
Telling stories and having them received is so important. That dialogue is everything. I tell my students all the time that what separates us as human beings is our ability to hold stories. Our narrative history. There is so much power in that. Storytelling is our human industry.
Kathi Appelt
If we all give our power to one person, that’s what the world will be. If we all decide to make the world a beautiful place, it’ll be a beautiful place.

Craig Ferguson
The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.
James Madison
I really like how the characters always has to go through some type of long journey that’s like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She’s always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat – I love that.
Megan Thee Stallion
Too 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.

Svetlana Alexievich
The secret of my influence has always been that it remained secret.
Salvador Dali
Pop 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.
Gloria Steinem
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

George R. R. Martin
The soft power of science has the potential to reshape global diplomacy.
Ahmed Zewail
I’m obsessed with the power of music and image together. There’s also something about music videos that are incredibly glamorous – there’s a fetishistic aesthetic to them that you don’t really see in movies in the same way.
Max Minghella
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
P. J. O’Rourke
Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

Isaac Newton
We needed something to express our joy, our beauty, our power. And the rainbow did that.

Lady Gaga
Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A good villain exudes charisma and power. He has principles, though; that just gives him a level of dimension. It makes him seem to be a bit unpredictable, because he’s usually deemed as some type of evil, ruthless person, and then he shows you his principles, and you don’t know what to think of it.
Pusha T
Democracy must be built through open societies that share information. When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation.
Atifete Jahjaga
Don’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.
Dita Von Teese
Politics is not about power.
Paul Wellstone
If 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.
Nikola Tesla

Once you’ve built the big machinery of political power, remember you won’t always be the one to run it.
P. J. O’Rourke
I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

Richard Dawkins
We have it in our power to begin the world over again.

Mason Cooley
Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.
John Dalberg-Acton

J. K. Rowling
Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power.
Seth Berkley
Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.

Winston Churchill
Power is the chance to impose your will within a social context, even when opposed and regardless of the integrity of that chance.
Max Weber
I have a lot of power. Here, I can decide: training at six in the morning! Training 11 in the night! But my style is not to impose. I would like to convince the players of what they are doing. This takes more time.
Carlo Ancelotti
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Orison Swett Marden
He who steals a little steals with the same wish as he who steals much, but with less power.

My relationship to power and authority is that I’m all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
What brings you closer to God is being in service to others. I think any religion or spiritual way of life will indicate that service to others will lead to a connection with a higher power.
Steve-O
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
Use 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.
