It is intolerable that it should be in the power of one blockhead to do so much mischief. ~ Charles James
Power Of One quotes by Charles James
If you can think it, then You Can Do It. Don't underestimate Your Power to change the world. ~ Jeanette Coron
Power Of One quotes by Jeanette Coron
Knowledge is power-and power of one sort or another is the secret lust of human souls; and here is, beside the sense of exploration, the undefinable interest of a story, and above all, something forbidden, to stimulate the contumacious appetite. ~ Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Power Of One quotes by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
It is not only the unit vote for the Presidency we are talking about, but a whole solar system of governmental power. If it is proposed to change the balance of power of one of the elements of the solar system, it is necessary to consider the others. ~ John F. Kennedy
Power Of One quotes by John F. Kennedy
There would be no need for political power in the Marxist sense of the organized power of one class used to oppress another. Nor, given Marx's idea that communism would come first to the most industrially advanced societies, and would be international in character, would there be any need for the state in the sense of an organization existing to defend the nation against attacks from other nations. Relieved from oppressive conditions that bring their interests into conflict, people would voluntarily co-operate with each other. The political state resting on armed force would become obsolete; its place would be taken by 'an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all' (CM 238). ~ Anonymous
Power Of One quotes by Anonymous
And there. The power of a word. The power of one word. That's where it all changes. ~ Patrick Ness
Power Of One quotes by Patrick Ness
Never underestimate the hidden power of one very determined person. There is nothing more powerful than determination and persistence. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Power Of One quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
I believe in the power of one. ~ Gary Hirshberg
Power Of One quotes by Gary Hirshberg
I think social media is a waste of time - in fact, each different type draws on the power of one of the Seven Deadly Sins. ~ Christopher X. Sullivan
Power Of One quotes by Christopher X. Sullivan
Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. ~ Karl Marx
Power Of One quotes by Karl Marx
Intelligence fails because it is human, no stronger than the power of one mind to understand another. (480) ~ Tim Weiner
Power Of One quotes by Tim Weiner
To deschool means to abolish the power of one person to oblige another. ~ Ivan Illich
Power Of One quotes by Ivan Illich
1052The power of one hundred proud men cannot influence the world as much as of one humble servant of God. Tom Krause ~ Tom Krause
Power Of One quotes by Tom Krause
The first state an actor experiences onstage is the one he just experienced in life. One needs great courage not to portray this experience. One must surrender entirely to the power of one s artistic nature. It will do all the necessary things. Do not impose any solution upon yourself in advance. The quality to develop in an actor is courage. ~ Yevgeny Vakhtangov
Power Of One quotes by Yevgeny Vakhtangov
Because silver and gold have their value from the matter itself, they have first this privilege, that the value of them cannot be altered by the power of one, nor of a few commonwealths, as being a common measure of the commodities of all places. But base money may easily be enhanced or abased. ~ Thomas Hobbes
Power Of One quotes by Thomas Hobbes
When Allah puts barakah (His blessings) in something, it will come beyond your expectations- never underestimate the power of one good deed. ~ Nouman Ali Khan
Power Of One quotes by Nouman Ali Khan
War is the ultimate realization of modern technology. For centuries men have tested themselves in war. War was the final test, the great experience, the privilege, the honor, the selfsacrifice or what have you, the absolutely ultimate determination of what kind of man you were. War was the great challenge and the great evaluator. It told you how much you were worth. But it's different today. Few men want to go off and fight. We prove ourselves, our manhood, in other ways, in making money, in skydiving, in hunting mountain lions with bow and arrow, in acquiring power of one kind or another. And I think we can forget ideology ~ Don DeLillo
Power Of One quotes by Don DeLillo
Never underestimate the power of one well-timed compliment. It has the power to change a person's entire perspective on life. It has the potential to change a person's plotline for eternity. The right word at the right time can be the catalyst for someone else's miracle. ~ Mark Batterson
Power Of One quotes by Mark Batterson
Always listen to yourself ... It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention. ~ Bryce Courtenay
Power Of One quotes by Bryce Courtenay
A cultivation of the powers of one's personality is one of the greatest needs of life. ~ Randolph Bourne
Power Of One quotes by Randolph Bourne
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires. ~ Michelangelo
Power Of One quotes by Michelangelo
The "Power of One" is a slogan--not a goal. ~ Bill Maher
Power Of One quotes by Bill Maher
Never question the power of one! Throughout history it has been the actions of only one person who has in inspired the movement of change. ~ Steve Maraboli
Power Of One quotes by Steve Maraboli
The power of one man doesn't amount to much. But, however little strength I'm capable of ... I'll do everything humanly possible to protect the people I love, and in turn they'll protect the ones they love. It seems like the least we tiny humans can do for each other ~ Hiromu Arakawa
Power Of One quotes by Hiromu Arakawa
[I]t is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or of any number of men, at the entering into society to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights, when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are life, liberty, and property. If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up an essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right of freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave. ~ Samuel Adams
Power Of One quotes by Samuel Adams
Get friends involved. Get the community to take action. Everyone cannot do everything but each of you can do one thing. ~ Somaly Mam
Power Of One quotes by Somaly Mam
Freedom can never be completely safeguarded by rules and laws. It is as much dependent on the courage, integrity, and responsibility of each of us as it is on these qualities in those who govern. Every trait in us and our leaders which points to passive submission to mere power betrays democratic freedom. In our American system of democratic government, three different powerful branches serve to check each other, the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. Yet when there is no will to prevent encroachment of the power of one by any of the others, this system of checks, too, can degenerate. ~ Joost A.M. Meerloo
Power Of One quotes by Joost A.M. Meerloo
The Power of Many will Always Exceed The Power of One. ~ Colleen Ferrary Bader
Power Of One quotes by Colleen Ferrary Bader
The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better. ~ Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
Power Of One quotes by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
The power of one can achieve any goal, if that one wants it bad enough. ~ Cameo Renae
Power Of One quotes by Cameo Renae
In San Francisco, vulgarity, "bad taste," ostentation are regarded as a kind of alien blight, an invasion or encroachment from outside. In Los Angeles, there is so much money and power connected with ostentation that is no longer ludicrous: it commands a kind of respect. For if the mighty behave like this, then quiet good taste means that you can't afford the conspicuous expenditures, and you become a little ashamed of your modesty and propriety. ~ Pauline Kael
Power Of One quotes by Pauline Kael
When two totaltarian powers makes war on each other, the anger and hatred that arise can be appeased only by the death of one or the other. More than this, such killing is profoundly satisfying. Anger and hatred are fulfilled in destrusction insofar as such emotion know satiety. The more lives the soldier succeeds in accounting for, the prouder he is likely to feel. To war is in no sense a game or dirty mess. It is a mission"......PG 136
Monster ~ Jesse Glenn Gray
Power Of One quotes by Jesse Glenn Gray
If you must then hire for passion first, experience second and credentials third. Then train those hired for directed passion, dropping the excess baggage and the whole process of unlearning. An entrepreneur is much like an architect shapping human resources into a well crafted power house. ~ Nikhil Sharda
Power Of One quotes by Nikhil Sharda
A new study says by 2030 household robots will dominate every phase of our lives. The study says the No. 1 field for robot growth is medicine. That makes sense. Robots already perform well in surgery. That is, until there is a power outage. Then it's just a coat rack leaning over you as you bleed to death. ~ Craig Ferguson
Power Of One quotes by Craig Ferguson
No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge. ~ Democritus
Power Of One quotes by Democritus
Out of power, Marxism can develop critical intelligence; in power, it quickly becomes stupid. ~ Mason Cooley
Power Of One quotes by Mason Cooley
Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young. ~ Aristotle.
Power Of One quotes by Aristotle.
I have been giving the best of my advice to this project since 1975. At first I was extremely hopeful. The original objectives of the language included reliability, readability of programs, formality of language definition, and even simplicity. Gradually these objectives have been sacrificed in favor of power, supposedly achieved by a plethora of features and notational conventions, many of them unnecessary and some of them, like exception handling, even dangerous ...
It is not too late! I believe that by careful pruning of the ADA language, it is still possible to select a very powerful subset that would be reliable and efficient in implementation and safe and economic in use. The sponsors of the language have declared unequivocally, however, that there shall be no subsets. This is the strangest paradox of the whole strange project. If you want a language with no subsets, you must make it small. ~ C.A.R. Hoare
Power Of One quotes by C.A.R. Hoare
This is the world of One Taste, with no inside and no outside, no subject and no object, no in here versus out there, without means, without path and without goal. And this, as Ramana said, is the final truth. ~ Ken Wilber
Power Of One quotes by Ken Wilber
Sometimes our ideas about love are really simplistic. We think of it as something that fixes everything, or, if the love is real, then you definitely have to stay in the relationship. The only way to really respect love is to respect its limits, and respect that it doesn't give you the power to change other people. That's why you can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them. It's not necessarily a question of whether you love them, it's a question of whether they belong in your life. ~ Tara Westover
Power Of One quotes by Tara Westover
Throughout history, the ruling class has gotten even better at enslaving you all," Gugalanna said. "They trick you into believing it's for your own good. They keep you safe, they promise. This is what you need, they guarantee. And now they've done such a wonderful job I doubt most of you even realize that you're caged.
"Those with all the power have always hidden away from those they oppress, and none are as far away or as powerful as those that hide in Vanaheimr, far removed from the mess that they've created." The Bull stopped speaking long enough to case a disparaging glare toward the sky, toward the legendary house of the Vanir gods and goddesses.
"It wasn't until I was trapped in the underworld that I began to see the earth for what it truly is: a cage," Gugalanna explained. "A place to hold you, to keep you busy, distracted. So you don't realize what they're doing to you and everything around you. ~ Amanda Hocking
Power Of One quotes by Amanda Hocking
George, if you ever break the spine of one of my books, I want you to know that you might as well be breaking my own spine. ~ Anne Fadiman
Power Of One quotes by Anne Fadiman
Wouldn't it be nice, for once, to find a world which was at peace with itself. No matter how always those few wanted more than others. Those not satisfied with running their own lives but wishing to have power over the lives of the others. Greedy people. Greedy for wealth, or power or both. ~ Garry Douglas Kilworth
Power Of One quotes by Garry Douglas Kilworth
The rich people are doing well but regular people suffer. We'll all be better off when we realize that we're part of one big family. ~ CeCe Winans
Power Of One quotes by CeCe Winans
I found that my wounds begin to heal when the voices of those endangered by silence are given power. The silence of hopelessness, of despair buried in the depths of poverty, violence, racism are more deadly than bullets. The gift of light, in our compassion, our listening, our works of love is the gift of life to ourselves. ~ Janice Mirikitani
Power Of One quotes by Janice Mirikitani
A smile has a magical power; it makes everyone smile back. ~ Debasish Mridha
Power Of One quotes by Debasish Mridha
I think with any movie, the more you know, it loses some of its power. ~ Peyton Reed
Power Of One quotes by Peyton Reed
In darkness lies a mystery that has the power to shine brighter than true light. ~ Luis Marques
Power Of One quotes by Luis Marques
It's amazing to be a Puerto Rican fighter, we have a great history of fighters. I say this all the time, 'I'm Puerto Rican, raised in Philadelphia so I got the best of both worlds. I got the Puerto Rican power and the Philly toughness. It comes a long way. ~ Danny Garcia
Power Of One quotes by Danny Garcia
Quantum physics findings show that consciousness itself created order - or indeed in some way created the world - this suggested much more capacity in the human being than was currently understood. It also suggested some revolutionary notions about humans in relation to their world and the relation between all living things. What they were asking was how far our bodies extended. Did they end with what we always thought of as our own isolated persona, or 'extend out' so that the demarcation between us and our world was less clear-cut? Did living consciousness possess some quantum field like properties, enabling it to extend its influence out into the world? If so, was it possible to do more than simply observe? How strong was our influence? It was only a small step in logic to conclude that in our act of participation as an observer in the quantum world, we might also be an influencer, a creator. Did we not only stop the butterfly at a certain point in its flight, but also influence the path it will take - nudging it in a particular direction?
This explains action at a distance, what scientists call non locality. The theory that two subatomic particles once in close proximity seemingly communicate over any distance after they are separated. ~ Lynne McTaggart
Power Of One quotes by Lynne McTaggart
We're all flawed heroes. Responsibility is power. Take responsibility for the consequences of your actions, and the world is yours. Everything is a choice. ~ Tom Hiddleston
Power Of One quotes by Tom Hiddleston
I'm a big fan of the local library. I just read a book, but that's another story. ~ British Sea Power
Power Of One quotes by British Sea Power
The great soul of power extends far beyond states, to every domain of life, from families to international affairs. And throughout, every form of authority and domination bears a severe burden of proof. It is not self-legitimizing. And when it cannot bear the burden, as is commonly the case, it should be dismantled. ~ Noam Chomsky
Power Of One quotes by Noam Chomsky
The "environmental crisis," in fact, can be
solved only if people, individually and in their communities, recover responsibility for their thoughtlessly given proxies. If people begin the effort to take back into their own power a significant portion of their economic responsibility, then their inevitable first discovery is that the "environmental crisis" is no such thing; it is not a crisis of our environs or surroundings; it is a crisis of our lives as individuals, as family members, as community members, and as citizens. We have an "environmental crisis" because we have consented to an economy in which by eating, drinking, working, resting, traveling, and enjoying ourselves we are destroying the natural, the god-given world. ~ Wendell Berry
Power Of One quotes by Wendell Berry
Rules of taste enforce structures of power. ~ Susan Sontag
Power Of One quotes by Susan Sontag
A piety that sees death as the moment of "going home at last," the time when we are "called to God's eternal peace," has no quarrel with power-mongers who want to carve up the world to suit their own ends. ~ N. T. Wright
Power Of One quotes by N. T. Wright
The original settlers in Iceland were the nobles of Norway who left their native land to avoid the tyranny of Harold Fairhair, who tried to crush their power so as to make himself a despotic king in the land. ~ Sabine Baring-Gould
Power Of One quotes by Sabine Baring-Gould
We are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle: that we are all citizens, and equal citizens, of one State. ~ Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Power Of One quotes by Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Sophie isn't leaving," Quentin asserted, his voice pure steel. "That woman sheds grace and light in every room she enters. Any man with a functional brain would try to catch a fragment of that grace and cherish it, rather than push her aside. I'm not sending her away. Were it in my power, I would cut the moon out of the sky and give it to her on a silver platter." Her notebook dropped from her nerveless fingers, splatting open on the tile floor. Quentin whirled around to see her standing in the doorway. If he was embarrassed to have been overheard, he gave no sign of it. On the contrary, his eyes that had been sparking with anger gentled the instant he saw her. She glanced away, rocked by the protective expression on Quentin's face. It shot straight to a vulnerable part deep inside and enveloped her with a sense of well-being. No man had ever spoken so passionately on her behalf, and a rush of wild, electrifying emotions stirred inside. ~ Elizabeth Camden
Power Of One quotes by Elizabeth Camden
That that present, in the consecrated space at the very summit of the hierarchy of this world there exists a god
like, demonlike ruler whose power is so vast that it envelops the entire planet and transends all human understanding and religion - this is something I believe to be true beyond the shadow of a doubt. ~ Shunji Ohkura
Power Of One quotes by Shunji Ohkura
Within the Arab circle there is a role wandering aimlessly in search of a hero. For some reason it seems to me that this role is beckoning to us-to move, to take up its lines, put on its costumes and give it life. Indeed, we are the only ones who can play it. The role is to spark the tremendous latent strengths in the region surrounding us to create a great power, which will then rise up to a level of dignity and undertake a positive part in building the future of mankind. ~ Gamal Abdel Nasser
Power Of One quotes by Gamal Abdel Nasser
Even though Christ Himself would not deliver us from the power of the Totalitarian State, as He did not deliver Himself, we must see His purpose in it all. Maybe his children are being persecuted by the world in order that they might withdraw themselves from the world. Maybe His most violent enemies may be doing His work negatively, for it could be the mission of totalitarianism to preside over the liquidation of a modern world that became indifferent to God and His moral laws. ~ Fulton J. Sheen
Power Of One quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
Magic does indeed exist. It lives in each of us, through the power of our words. Books are a product of that wonderful magic. ~ Blaire Hammond
Power Of One quotes by Blaire Hammond
Okay, okay . . . where do you hear it coming from?"
"Around here somewhere."
"Always in this spot?"
"No. Not always. You are going to think I am even more insane, but I swear it is following me around."
"Maybe it is my new powers. The power to drive you mad." She wriggled her fingers at him theatrically as if she were casting a curse on him.
"You already drive me mad," he teased, dragging her up against him and nibbling her neck with a playful growling. "Ah hell," he broke off. "I really am going mad. I cannot believe you cannot hear that. It is like a metronome set to some ridiculously fast speed."
He turned and walked into the living room, looking around at every shelf.
"The last person to own this place probably had a thing for music and left it running. Listen. Can you hear that?"
"No," she said thoughtfully, "but I can hear you hearing it if I concentrate on your thoughts. What in the world . . . ?"
Gideon turned, then turned again, concentrating on the rapid sound, following it until it led him right up to his wife.
"It is you!" he said. "No wonder it is following me around. Are you wearing a watch?" He grabbed her wrist and she rolled her eyes.
"A Demon wearing a watch? Now I have heard everything."
Suddenly Gideon went very, very still, the cold wash of chills that flooded through him so strong that she shivered with the overflow of sensation. He abruptly dropped to his knees and framed her hips with his hand ~ Jacquelyn Frank
Power Of One quotes by Jacquelyn Frank
The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another. ~ Nikola Tesla
Power Of One quotes by Nikola Tesla
Indeed, the Philippines has been described as a "gambling republic" where politicians "hold power without virtue," dominating by means of "capital" and "crime."13 ~ Anonymous
Power Of One quotes by Anonymous
Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word? ~ Richard Bach
Power Of One quotes by Richard Bach
In each case, the relative cost of postponing the purchase for buyer and seller determines the intensity of competition between the [past and future] selves of the seller. If the buyer has a lower cost of postponing the purchase (delay, making do with an interior model) than the seller (inventory, staff salaries) the buyer has the bargaining power. ~ Rakesh V. Vohra
Power Of One quotes by Rakesh V. Vohra
Sadly enough, some people are insecure in such a way that they cannot bear the thought of the sovereignty of God, the thought of His Being as greater than themselves. It makes them feel insignificant. But I know if I were to worship and obey anything, I would like it far greater than myself or any person or human system, preferably to the point that which it, perhaps, in all its majesty, makes me feel lost and even 'creatural' in my sheer humanity. Only this God - He who is great beyond human measure, yet still considers His creation precious - I find to be more than worthy of praise; otherwise, I bow down and worship nothing. And if the thought of such a superior and almighty God were to indeed offend me, I would have to remember that it is because I am only as significant as the things which I am idolizing, things which are ultimately separating me, the creation, from my original Creator. ~ Criss Jami
Power Of One quotes by Criss Jami
Resolved Therefore that the General Assembly of this colony have the only and sole exclusive right and power to lay taxes and impositions upon the inhabitants of this colony and that every attempt to vest such power in any other person or persons whatsoever other than the General Assembly aforesaid has a manifest tendency to destroy British as well as AMERICAN FREEDOM.50 Men ~ Jon Meacham
Power Of One quotes by Jon Meacham
Literature is the power of fiction itself: not making a claim about what the world is, but about the imagination of a possible world. ~ Claire Colebrook
Power Of One quotes by Claire Colebrook
There exists in society a very special class of persons that I have always referred to as the Believers. These are folks who have chosen to accept a certain religion, philosophy, theory, idea or notion and cling to that belief regardless of any evidence that might, for anyone else, bring it into doubt. They are the ones who encourage and support the fanatics and the frauds of any given age. No amount of evidence, no matter how strong, will bring them any enlightenment. They are the sheep who beg to be fleeced and butchered, and who will battle fiercely to preserve their right to be victimized… patent offices handle an endless succession of inventors who still produce perpetual-motion machines that don't work, but no number of idle flywheels will convince these zealots of their folly; dozens of these patent applications flow in every year. In ashrams all over the world, hopping devotees of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi will never abandon their goal of blissful levitation of their bodies by mind power, despite bruises and sprains aplenty suffered as they bounce about on gym mats like demented (though smiling) frogs, trying to get airborne. Absolutely nothing will discourage them. ~ James Randi
Power Of One quotes by James Randi
I realized that I really, almost by accident, had fallen into a labyrinthine, very powerful paradigm for dealing with these things through genre films. And once I realized that and realized the power of it, and the fact that because horror films aren't, in general, studio products - studios back them sometimes, but they don't try to meddle too much, because they kind of don't want to sully their skirts - you have a lot of freedom. ~ Wes Craven
Power Of One quotes by Wes Craven
France has the largest, most lucrative cinema in Europe, making it the second most successful cinema in the Western world (a distant second, monetarily), and in terms of roles for women, it's unquestionably in the lead. When a French actress comes to America, she leaves a cinema interested in exploring her essence in favor of one that's not interested in anything about her, that's even hostile to the notion of making movies about women at all. ~ Mick LaSalle
Power Of One quotes by Mick LaSalle
This is, in part, why there is less magic in the world today. Magic is secret and secrets are magic, after all, and years upon years of teaching and sharing magic and worse. Writing it down in fancy books that get all dusty with age has lessened it, removed its power bit by bit. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Power Of One quotes by Erin Morgenstern
People don't like to read text on computer screens (and reading a lot of text on iPod screens gets very tiring very soon, just about as soon as running out of battery power). ~ Nicholson Baker
Power Of One quotes by Nicholson Baker
