Quotes:The music throbbed in a voice of singular and delicate
power; the air was resonant with melody, love and pain. The meanest Italian in the gallery far up beneath the ceiling, the most exalted of the land in the boxes and the stalls, leaned indulgently forward, to be swept by this sweet storm of song.
View quotes by Gilbert ParkerIt is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent
power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

power to effect work without employing brute force - is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.
View quotes by Havelock EllisIn Israel, free men and women are every day demonstrating the
power of courage and faith. Back in 1948 when Israel was founded, pundits claimed the new country could never survive. Today, no one questions that. Israel is a land of stability and democracy in a region of tryanny and unrest.
View quotes by Ronald ReaganExtremists, who thrive on conflict; who do not tolerate diversity; who seek
power through division and destruction. The global system they hope to create is one of new walls and new isolation, and radically smaller horizons. It is an anti-democratic, anti-economic-growth, and anti-progress agenda.
View quotes by King Abdullah IILiberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it... The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental
power, not the increase of it.
View quotes by Woodrow WilsonBut he is a great manager, he is clever and used his
power and his prestige. The referee should not allow it. I have a lot of respect for Ferguson. I call him boss because he is the manager's boss. Maybe when I become 60, the kids will call me the same.
View quotes by Jose MourinhoI absolutely believe in the
power of tithing and giving back. My own experience about all the blessings I've had in my life is that the more I give away, the more that comes back. That is the way life works, and that is the way energy works.
View quotes by Ken BlanchardThe cross is the centre of the world's history; the incarnation of Christ and the crucifiction of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve. The testimony of Christ was the spirit of prophecy, and the growing
power of Jesus is the spirit of history
View quotes by Alexander MaclarenPeople crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade
power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have must to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.
View quotes by Edmund BurkeWhen you look at electrical things you can see that they are made of small and big wires, cheap and expensive all lined up. Until the current runs through them there will be no light. Those wires are you and me and the current is God. We have the
power to let the current pass through us, use us and produce the light of the world or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.
View quotes by Mother TeresaPatience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no
power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be
powerless to vex your mind.
View quotes by Leonardo Da VinciFollow the dirt and it leads to money. Follow the money and it leads to
power. This maxim has rarely let me down.
View quotes by Simon JenkinsKnowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true
power.
View quotes by Lao TzuLiberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of
power.
View quotes by James MadisonIf mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the
power - would be justified in silencing mankind.
View quotes by John Stuart MillUntil one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
power and magic in it. Begin it now.
View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheTo understand the mysteries of life you must look around and within. You will see patterns everywhere; patterns that seem to manifest themselves over and over again. These patterns exist intertwined within nature and man bridging the gap between the enigma of self and universe. You see them in spiraling galaxies and the Mandelbrot fractal of fossilized Ammonoidea; growing from the unknown to atoms to molecules to solar systems to galaxies to the paradoxical expanses of the universe with origins and destinations unknown; just like us in birth and death. The similarities of tree branches, rivers and blood veins. The
power of cellular division and nuclear fission, the patterns of finger prints like endoplasmic reticulum, or a black opal's play of fire like the nebula of supernova. Moon shots are like protoplasmic lurches, while simple thoughts and observations of the nature around us take us beyond the unknown. The clues to the great mystery are all around us and deep within us.
