"The one who loves the least, controls the relationship."	Robert Newton Anthony

"Courage consists of the power of self-recovery."	Julie Arabi
"Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up."	Hannah Arendt
"Nothing, it appears to me is of greater value in a man than the power of judgement; and the man who has it may be compared to a chest fulled with books, for he is the son of nature and the father of art."	Pietro Aretino
"Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people."	Aristotle
"What lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do."	Aristotle
"Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility."	Louis
"As long as we think we can save ourselves by our own will power, we will only make the evil in us stronger than ever."	Heini Arnold

"The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while."	George Baker
"The instinct to command others, in its primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of man, it takes on a somewhat more ideal form and becomes somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good. But in its essence it remains just as baneful, and it becomes even more so when, with the application of science, it extends its scope and intensifies the power of its action. If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle."	Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin
"Identity would seem to be the garment with which one covers the nakedness of the self, in which case, it is best that the garment be loose, a little like the robes of the desert, through which one's nakedness can always be felt, and, sometimes, discerned. This trust in one's nakedness is all that gives one the power to change one's robes."	James Arthur Baldwin
"Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true."	Honoré de Balzac
