If I could I would!" is the maxim of tyrants. ~ Lamine Pearlheart
Power Abuse quotes by Lamine Pearlheart
I know you're competent and your thesis advisor knows you're competent. The question in our minds is are you really serious about what you're doing?"

This was said to a young woman who had already spent five years and over $10,000 getting to that point in her Ph.D. program. ~ Joanna Russ
Power Abuse quotes by Joanna Russ
Richard Nixon as a 12-year-old was given a portrait of Lincoln that he hung over his bed. Nixon also justified what would later be seen as abuses of power by comparing America in the Vietnam era to the country during the Civil War. ~ Richard Norton Smith
Power Abuse quotes by Richard Norton Smith
My nature is that when I see abuses of power, I want to expose those abuses. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Power Abuse quotes by Glenn Greenwald
Type II trauma also often occurs within a closed context - such as a family, a religious group, a workplace, a chain of command, or a battle group - usually perpetrated by someone related or known to the victim. As such, it often involves fundamental betrayal of the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator and within the community (Freyd, 1994). It may also involve the betrayal of a particular role and the responsibility associated with the relationship (i.e., parent-child, family member-child, therapist-client, teacher-student, clergy-child/adult congregant, supervisor-employee, military officer-enlisted man or woman). Relational dynamics of this sort have the effect of further complicating the victim's survival adaptations, especially when a superficially caring, loving or seductive relationship is cultivated with the victim (e.g., by an adult mentor such as a priest, coach, or teacher; by an adult who offers a child special favors for compliance; by a superior who acts as a protector or who can offer special favors and career advancement). In a process labelled "selection and grooming", potential abusers seek out as potential victims those who appear insecure, are needy and without resources, and are isolated from others or are obviously neglected by caregivers or those who are in crisis or distress for which they are seeking assistance. This status is then used against the victim to seduce, coerce, and exploit. Such a scenario can lead to trauma bonding between ~ Christine A. Courtois
Power Abuse quotes by Christine A. Courtois
I begin to reason with myself, to doubt whether I had spoken clearly: what had I whispered and what had I screamed? I decide that if I had asked differently, been more calm, he would have stopped. I write this until I believe it, which doesn't take long because I want to believe it. It's comforting to think the defect is mine, because that means it is under my power. ~ Tara Westover
Power Abuse quotes by Tara Westover
This ain't my first rodeo!".

~R. Alan Woods [1999] ~ R. Alan Woods
Power Abuse quotes by R. Alan Woods
There are two things that interest me - and they're both power, ultimately. One is not having it and one is abusing it. ~ Joss Whedon
Power Abuse quotes by Joss Whedon
A great man is one who can have power and not abuse it. ~ Henry Latham Doherty
Power Abuse quotes by Henry Latham Doherty
The democratic state can sometimes abuse its power as much as those who seek to destroy it abuse fundamental rights and democratic practices. ~ David Blunkett
Power Abuse quotes by David Blunkett
Even today there still exists in the South
and in certain areas of the North
the license that our society allows to unjust officials who implement their authority in the name of justice to practice injustice against minorities. Where, in the days of slavery, social license and custom placed the unbridled power of the whip in the hands of overseers and masters, today
especially in the southern half of the nation
armies of officials are clothed in uniform, invested with authority, armed with the instruments of violence and death and conditioned to believe that they can intimidate, main or kill Negroes with the same recklessness that once motivated the slaveowner. If one doubts this conclusion, let him search the records and find how rarely in any southern state a police officer has been punished for abusing a Negro. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power Abuse quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
What else do we have to expose and investigate corruption and maintain informed citizenry? When all levels of government and justice system are abusing power, where can people go with claims of that abuse? Only the press. ~ JoeAnn Hart
Power Abuse quotes by JoeAnn Hart
Ukraine had quite serious impact on the many Russians. They could see that ordinary people in Ukraine which is a bordering state, very close to Russia, the people of this state are, they didn't want to tolerate anymore the power abuse by Ukrainian officials. ~ Garry Kasparov
Power Abuse quotes by Garry Kasparov
Liberty ... is there only when there is no abuse of power. ~ Baron De Montesquieu
Power Abuse quotes by Baron De Montesquieu
The world isn't fair? What a huge revelation! Some people in power abuse those they have power over? Amazing! When did this start happening? ~ Brandon Sanderson
Power Abuse quotes by Brandon Sanderson
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it. ~ Thomas Babington Macaulay
Power Abuse quotes by Thomas Babington Macaulay
The characteristics of healthy boundaries include self-respect; non-tolerance of abuse or disrespect; responsibility for exploring and nurturing personal potential; two-way communication of wants, needs, and feelings; expectations of reciprocity; and sharing responsibility and power. ~ Laurie Buchanan
Power Abuse quotes by Laurie Buchanan
This House cannot function without an open, accountable, and independent ethics process; and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand. ~ Louise Slaughter
Power Abuse quotes by Louise Slaughter
History is the study of the abuse of power. ~ Marty Rubin
Power Abuse quotes by Marty Rubin
I am thinking now of old Moses sitting on a mountain - sitting with God - looking across the Jordan into the Promised Land. I am thinking of the lump in his throat, that weary ache in his heart, that nearly bitter longing sweetened by the company of God...

And then God - the great eternal God - takes Moses' thin-worn, thread-bare little body into His hands - hands into whose hollows you could pour the oceans of the world, hands whose breadth marked off the heavens - and with these enormous and enormously gentle hands, God folds Moses' pale lifeless arms across his chest for burial.

I don't know if God wept at Moses' funeral. I don't know if He cried when He killed the first of His creatures to take its skins to clothe this man's earliest ancestors. I don't know who will bury me -

...Of God, on whose breast old Moses lays his head like John the Beloved would lay his on the Christ's. And God sits there quietly with Moses - for Moses - and lets His little man cry out his last moments of life.

But I look back over the events of my life and see the hands that carried Moses to his grave lifting me out of mine. In remembering I go back to these places where God met me and I meet Him again and I lay my head on His breast, and He shows me the land beyond the Jordan and I suck into my lungs the fragrance of His breath, the power of His presence. ~ Rich Mullins
Power Abuse quotes by Rich Mullins
Another illusion is that external events have the power to hurt you, that other people have the power to hurt you. They don't. It's you who give this power to them. ~ Anthony De Mello
Power Abuse quotes by Anthony De Mello
My father told me when I first started that standup is exciting and I should pursue it, but that writing would be the thing that would give me power over my career. I never have to take a road gig or a writing gig I don't want because I always have the ability to play one against the other. ~ Greg Fitzsimmons
Power Abuse quotes by Greg Fitzsimmons
You see, bookshops are dreams built of wood and paper. They are time travel and escape and knowledge and power. They are, simply put, the best of places. ~ Jen Campbell
Power Abuse quotes by Jen Campbell
Wind power is a green mirage of the worst kind. ~ Hendrik Tennekes
Power Abuse quotes by Hendrik Tennekes
The reason for the existence of the perfection conjured up in these fourteen lines is that it possesses ... the authorization to form a message that appeals from within itself. This power of appeal is exquisitely evident in the object evoked here. The perfect thing is that which articulates an entire principle of being. The poem has to perform no more and no less than to perceive the principle of being in the thing and adapt it to its own existence - with the aim of becoming a construct with an equal power to convey a message. ~ Peter Sloterdijk
Power Abuse quotes by Peter Sloterdijk
If they [the mothers] use different vocabularies, they may share a postmodern feminist "body politics" - in this instance an awareness that maternal breastfeeding carries no inherent, "natural" meaning, that it is always located where historically specific, culturally articulated interests and power relations collide with the recalcitrance of the body. ~ Linda Blum
Power Abuse quotes by Linda Blum
John Wayne represents more force, more power than anyone else on the screen. ~ Howard Hawks
Power Abuse quotes by Howard Hawks
Among the many acts of gratitude we owe to God, it may be accounted one to study and contemplate the perfections and beauties of His work of creation. Every new discovery must necessarily raise in us a fresh sense of the greatness, wisdom, and power of God. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Power Abuse quotes by Jonathan Edwards
Perhaps it is only the light. Perhaps it is the power of the realms at work through me. Or perhaps it is some combination of spirit and desire, love and hope, some alchemy that we each possess and can put to use, if first we know were to look without flinching. ~ Libba Bray
Power Abuse quotes by Libba Bray
Though there were auspicious signs that preceded and accompanied his birth, preparing the world for the majestic and kingly, the birth of Jesus itself was of the humblest peasant parentage, in an unimportant town, and in the roughest of buildings. He made a career of rejecting marks of status or privilege: he touched lepers, washed the feet of his disciples, befriended little children, encouraged women to join his entourage, and, finally submitted to crucifixion by a foreign power. Everything about Jesus spoke of servitude: if Jesus is our model of leadership there can be no avoidance of the style by pastors. ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Power Abuse quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
Garret Sutton's books on corporations provide wonderful insight into the power of personal corporations. ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Power Abuse quotes by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Most people want peace without the aloneness of [spiritual] power. And they want the self-confidence of adulthood without having to grow up. ~ M. Scott Peck
Power Abuse quotes by M. Scott Peck
Remember one thing as South Africa prepares to go to the polls this week and the world grapples with the ascendancy of the African National Congress leader Jacob Zuma: South Africa is not Zimbabwe.
In South Africa, no one doubts that Wednesday's elections will be free and fair. While there is an unacceptable degree of government corruption, there is no evidence of the wholesale kleptocracy of Robert Mugabe's elite. While there has been the abuse of the organs of state by the ruling ANC, there is not the state terror of Mugabe's Zanu-PF. And while there is a clear left bias to Zuma's ANC, there is no suggestion of the kind of voluntarist experimentation that has brought Zimbabwe to its knees. ~ Mark Gevisser
Power Abuse quotes by Mark Gevisser
Like all fundamentalists who get their clammy hands on the levers of power, the market fanatics are going to kill off every humane, life-enhancing, generous, imaginative and decent corner of our public life ... Market fundamentalism, this madness that's infected the human race, is like a greedy ghost that haunts the boardrooms and council chambers and committee rooms from which the world is run these days. The greedy ghost understands profit all right. But that's all. What he doesn't understand is enterprises that don't make a profit, because they're set up to do something different. He doesn't understand libraries at all ... ~ Philip Pullman
Power Abuse quotes by Philip Pullman
Can we just do this?" Ray asked tightly, clinging to Zheng's already slightly elongated arm. Because Louis-Cesare wasn't the only one with a master power around here.
"Let go," Zheng told him. "I'm the rubber band; you're the spitball. And spitballs don't hold on to rubber bands."
"Die in a fire," Ray told him savagely. But he let go. ~ Karen Chance
Power Abuse quotes by Karen Chance
The difficulty we have coming to grips with a God who has wrath against sin is directly related to our poor understanding of sin's power against us. In order to more fully understand God's holiness and wrath, we must look at sin. Without a full view of holiness, sin is mere human failure because it contains no connection to God. Without understanding holiness, sin is failing without knowing the standard we failed. Without a proper view of holiness, sin is failing without being guilty, and failing without consequences. Sin is not neutral ~ Tyler Braun
Power Abuse quotes by Tyler Braun
Musicians ought to reclaim some of the power in the houses of production. The opera houses are run either by managers or by stage directors, never by musicians. ~ Laurence Equilbey
Power Abuse quotes by Laurence Equilbey
Dad, seeing me start to drop back, reached out his hand to me. His eyes said, Grab hold. Let's run together. Still running, my little hand slipped inside his larger one. It was like magic! His power lifted me right off the ground. I took off in his strength. My speed doubled because my dad had hold of me. ~ Stuart K. Weber
Power Abuse quotes by Stuart K. Weber
We'll have a public power authority, which will also have the ability to build power or finance power. And more importantly, we'll have more power than our economy provides. All of that will give us leverage we don't have today. ~ Gray Davis
Power Abuse quotes by Gray Davis
DECEMBER 21 Peace in the House Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention. PHILIPPIANS 2:2 When Jesus sent the disciples out two by two to do miracles, signs, and wonders, in essence He said to them, "Go and find a house and say, 'Peace be unto you.' And if your peace settles on that house, you can stay there. If it doesn't, shake the dust off your feet and go on" (see Mark 6:7-11). One day God showed me what Jesus was really saying to them: "I want you to go out with the anointing, but to do that you need to have peace in the house." You need to do whatever you can to maintain peace in your home because it dramatically affects the anointing and power of God that rests on your life. Keep the strife out of your life! No peace, no power! Know peace, know power! ~ Joyce Meyer
Power Abuse quotes by Joyce Meyer
Wee do freely profess that our Lord the King hath no more power over their Roman Catholics' coonsciences than over ours, and that is none at all ... let people be heretikes, Turks, Jews, or whatsoever, it apperteynes not to the earthly power to punish them in the least measure. ~ Thomas Helwys
Power Abuse quotes by Thomas Helwys
His smallest action has the power to send me soaring to new heights of bliss or drag me down to devastating lows. ~ Colleen Masters
Power Abuse quotes by Colleen Masters
Lermontov became a soldier, escaping from her grandmother and her troublesome love. He exchanged the pen, which is the key to one's soul, for a pistol, which is the key to the gates of the world. ~ Milan Kundera
Power Abuse quotes by Milan Kundera
Every effective drug provokes in the human body a sort of disease of its own, and the stronger the drug, the more characteristic, and the more marked and more violent the disease. We should imitate nature, which sometimes cures a chronic affliction with another supervening disease, and prescribe for the illness we wish to cure, especially if chronic, a drug with power to provoke another, artificial disease, as similar as possible, and the former disease will be cured: fight like with like. ~ Samuel Hahnemann
Power Abuse quotes by Samuel Hahnemann
Say what you liked about the people of Ankh-Morpork they had always been staunchly independent, yielding to no man their right to rob, defraud, embezzle and murder on an equal basis. This seemed absolutely right, to Vimes's way of thinking. There was no difference at all between the richest man and the poorest beggar, apart from the fact that the former had lots of money, food, power, fine clothes, and good health. But at least he wasn't any better. Just richer, fatter, more powerful, better dressed and healthier. It had been like that for hundreds of years. ~ Terry Pratchett
Power Abuse quotes by Terry Pratchett
Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse-power of the understanding ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power Abuse quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I've seen the power of Life Coaching firsthand and I know how beneficial it can be. ~ Leeza Gibbons
Power Abuse quotes by Leeza Gibbons
Perspective alone can make an experience positive or negative, but regardless of which you let it become, it can only have as much power over your outlook on life as you give it. ~ A.J. Darkholme
Power Abuse quotes by A.J. Darkholme
With one eye on today's blessings you will have more staying power for the distant goal. ~ Henry B. Eyring
Power Abuse quotes by Henry B. Eyring
♥♀♥ Do Not Be Afraid Of *WoMen Power*!?! It's That Same ~Power~ That Brought You Into This *Reality*!?! ♥♀♥ ~ Aisare NoMon
Power Abuse quotes by Aisare NoMon
When I'm in power, here's how I'm gonna put the country back on its feet. I'm going to put sterilizing agents in the following products: Sunny Delight, Mountain Dew, and Thick-Crust Pizza. Only the 'tardiest of the 'tards like the thick crust. ~ Adam Carolla
