Power"So long as a man’s power, that is, his capacity to realize what he has in mind, is bound to the goal, to the work, to the calling, it is, considered in itself, neither good nor evil, it is only a suitable or unsuitable instrument. But as soon as this bond with the goal is broken off or loosened, and the man ceases to think of power as the capacity to do something, but thinks of it as a possession, that is, thinks of power in itself, then his power, being cut off and self-satisfied, is evil; it is power withdrawn from responsibility, power which betrays the spirit, power in itself."
"Imperium cupientibus nihil medium inter summa et præcipitia."
"I have found that power does not corrupt. People who seek power are already corrupted."
"An untoward event. (Threatening to disturb the balance of power.)"
"Minimum decet libere cui multum licet."
"Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force."
"Power wears out those who dont have it."
