Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinksyou have.

Oppositesattract and then can't stand each other.

The greatest prayer is patience.

A perfect method for adding drama to life is to wait untilthe deadline looms large.

There is no knowledge that is not power.

Youcan't shake hands with a clenched fist.

We make our friends, we make our enemies, but God makes our next-door neighbours.

The exercise of power is determined by thousands ofinteractions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, allthe more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyonehas a small part of himself in both.

If you truly want honesty, don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to.

Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerfuland the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.

There is no knowledge that is not power.

Modesty is the clothing of talent.
