To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who seek it: the pains of power are real, its pleasures imaginary.
Colton, Charles C. | Power
The tempest uproots not the soft grasses that bow low on all sides; on the lofty trees it strikes hard. It is against the mighty that the mighty puts forth his prowess.
Hitopadesa, The | Power
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, these three alone lead life to sovereign power.
Tennyson, Alfred Lord | Power
Power may justly be compared to a great river; while kept within its bounds it is both beautiful and useful, but when it overflows its banks, it is then too impetuous to be stemmed; it bears down all before it, and brings destruction and desolation wherever it comes.
Hamilton, Andrew | Power
