Powers Quotes

To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom Picture Quote #1

I can’t compete and when I do, the rules of engagement change in the middle of the game. I’ll let the powers that be vanquish themselves and return in three to five years to sift through the remains Picture Quote #1

Extensive powers not exercised as far as was necessary have, I believe, scarcely ever failed to ruin the possessor Picture Quote #1

The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he achieves is no small one; it is everything Picture Quote #1

Persons with comparatively moderate powers will accomplish much, if they apply themselves wholly and indefatigably to one thing at a time Picture Quote #1

Concentrate... for the greatest achievements are reserved for the man of single aim, in whom no rival powers divide the empire of the soul Picture Quote #1

In this world, the greatest rewards of success, wealth and happiness are usually obtained not through the exercise of special powers such a genius or intellect but through one’s energetic use of simple means and ordinary qualities Picture Quote #1

Where a man does his best with only moderate powers, he will have the advantage over negligent superiority Picture Quote #1

The mind is incredible. Once you’ve gained mastery over it, channelling its powers positively, for your purpose you can do anything Picture Quote #1

A world government with powers adequate to guarantee security is not a remote ideal for the distant future. It is an urgent necessity if our civilization is to survive Picture Quote #1

A successful school has to engage all the people, all the powers, and all the capacities within it Picture Quote #1

What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes Picture Quote #1

Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction Picture Quote #1

Money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity Picture Quote #1

The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities Picture Quote #1

The public must be put in its place, so that it may exercise its own powers, but no less and perhaps even more, so that each of us may live free of the trampling and the roar of a bewildered herd Picture Quote #1

For each of us there is a set limit to our intellectual powers which we cannot pass Picture Quote #1

If you face life without confidence in your own powers, you succumb too easily to setbacks and adversity; you lack the will to persevere Picture Quote #1

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion Picture Quote #1

When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner Picture Quote #1

Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of resistance, the strong sometimes succumb Picture Quote #1

If we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and organization, we can say this: were there the slightest possibility that another rival or superior species might appear, on earth or elsewhere, man would use every means at his disposal to destroy it Picture Quote #1

Dear to us are those who love us... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life; they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances Picture Quote #1

Give up the feeling of responsibility, let go your hold, resign the care of your destiny to higher powers, be genuinely indifferent as to what becomes of it all and you will find not only that you gain a perfect inward relief, but often also, in addition, the particular goods you sincerely thought you were renouncing Picture Quote #1

To see helpless infancy stretching out her hands, and pouring out her cries in testimony of dependence, without any powers to alarm jealousy, or any guilt to alienate affection, must surely awaken tenderness in every human mind; and tenderness once excited will be hourly increased by the natural contagion of felicity, by the repercussion of communicated pleasure, by the consciousness of dignity of benefaction Picture Quote #1

Vanity is so frequently the apparent motive of advice that we, for the most part, summon our powers to oppose it without very accurate inquiry whether it is right. It is sufficient that another is growing great in his own eyes at our expense, and assumes authority over us without our permission; for many would contentedly suffer the consequences of their own mistakes, rather than the insolence of him who triumphs as their deliverer Picture Quote #1

Those powers that control the tent are not threatened at all by any activity that you engage in, in the shadows, that’s not moving toward the tent. And I am rather convinced that we have a generation that is so preoccupied with life in the shadows, they never even focus on getting to the sunlight where you open up the big tent Picture Quote #1

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved Picture Quote #1

A perfect writer would make words sing, dance, kiss, do the male and female act, bear children, weep, bleed, rage, stab, steal, fire cannon, steer ships, sack cities, charge with cavalry or infantry, or do anything that man or woman or the natural powers can do Picture Quote #1

Everyday we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read the lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Everyman, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths Picture Quote #1
