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 (1561-1626) British statesman and philosopher

We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind.

» Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) 32nd President of the USA

No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.

» Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) German poet, playwright, writer, historian and philosopher.

The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.

» Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) German poet, playwright, writer, historian and philosopher.

Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.

» Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) German poet, playwright, writer, historian and philosopher.

Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.

» George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright, critic, political activist

Power-worship blurs political judgment because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.

» George Orwell (1903-1950) British novelist, essayist, and critic [George Orwell is his pen name]

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.

Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much.

» Francis Bacon (1561-1626) British statesman and philosopher

Not necessity, not desire -no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything -health, food, a place to live, entertainment -they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

» Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) German philosopher and writer

To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.

» Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) German poet, playwright, writer, historian and philosopher.

You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother's milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.

» George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright, critic, political activist

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.

» George W. Bush (1946-?) American Politician

A friend in power is a friend lost.
