Power

"Man is constantly being assured today that he has more power than ever before in history, but his daily experience is one of powerlessness."

"You can be inspired by others, but when you're inspired from within then you have real power for change."

"The real you, the inner you, loves and adores you; but you cut off that power when you think badly of yourself."

"Forgiveness is a powerful cure."

"Sex only makes people more like themselves. A powerful, secretive woman becomes only more powerful and more secretive in the throes of passion."

"All, or the greatest part of men that have aspired to riches or power, have attained thereunto either by force or fraud, and what they have by craft or cruelty gained, to cover the foulness of their fact, they call purchase, as a name more honest.

"The principle victims of British policies are Unpeople—those whose lives are deemed worthless, expendable in the pursuit of power and commercial gain.

"Many a small man is considered good while he remains small, but let power come to him, and he becomes a raging fury."

"His style as a writer places him in the category of the immortals, and his courage as a critic outlives the bitter battles in which he engaged. As a result, we use the word 'Orwellian' in two senses: The first describes a nightmare state, a dystopia of untrammelled power; the second describes the human qualities that are always ranged in resistance to such regimes, and that may be more potent and durable than we sometimes dare to think."

"Washington likes to threaten the people over whom they exercise power."

"It’s the process of being minimized, invalidated, silenced. It’s the process of being subjected to whatever someone else thinks I owe them. It’s the process of being used, examined, explored, and thrown away. It’s the process of being convinced to comply with the orders of someone who does not see me as their equal, someone who sees nothing wrong with the notion that I’m somehow lesser than they are. Rape isn’t about sex; it’s about all those other things. It’s about power."

"When we choose to operate on the frequency of compassion and kindness, we create, and reinforce our own reality, as filled with compassion and kindness. I refer here to the idea of unconditional compassion and kindness. It means that we can choose to react to any situation, as negative as it may seem to be, with kindness and understanding. Whenever someone chooses to be rude to us, there is no need for us to respond with rudeness. A moment of self-reflection can remind us that fire fought with fire only increases the heat. The more often we practice our conscious positive response, to any situation, our automatic negative reactions are gradually being replaced with a conscious decision to act in the most loving way we can conceive at the moment."

"When you accidentally assert power over someone or something, one of two things will happen: 1) you will be respected; or 2) you will be hated"

"Femininity is your greatest power. Embrace it!"
