Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but bystriking true.

A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledgeincreases strength.

All the power that we exercise over others depends on thepower we exercise over ourselves.

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength andpotency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices anddecisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habitsand to cultivate higher, more effective ones.

The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give itall up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it.The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamedpossible.

Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables himto do easily some feat impossible to any other.
