In a government framed for durable liberty, not less regard must be paid to giving the magistrate a proper degree of authority, to make and execute the laws with rigour, than to guarding against encroachments upon the rights of the community. As too much power leads to despotism, too little leads to anarchy, and both eventually to the ruin of the people. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Too Much Power quotes by Alexander Hamilton
The bottom line is that kids with too much power feel unsafe. Children with too much influence often become anxious because they feel like they have to control their environment, and they really don't know how. This stress triggers a cascade of toxic neurochemistry. Creating situations in which a child's developing brain is consistently bathed in the stress hormone cortisol is not a wise parenting move. ~ Robin Berman
Too Much Power quotes by Robin Berman
You don't just give the executive branch unlimited resources, unlimited power. Our founders were very concerned about too much power being invested in any one, in any branch. The balance of power is fundamental to our system. ~ Mike Huckabee
Too Much Power quotes by Mike Huckabee
The thing American people fear about corporations is that they might achieve too much power. We have an antipathy to power even as we admire it. ~ Annie Proulx
Too Much Power quotes by Annie Proulx
Gentle Reminder: 1 Don't confuse protecting your heart with being too scared to try something new with someone else, there is a difference. A lot of us have given way too much power to our pasts. Not everyone who may want a chance is going to use that chance against you negatively. Yes, some folks may fool us, trick us and even hurt us but some is not all. Don't miss out on a good thing because your past is persuading you not to pursue your future. ~ Alexandra Elle
Too Much Power quotes by Alexandra Elle
I think too many people give others too much power over them. But if they're not missing you or thinking about you or wanting to be near you, then it's time to realize you're worth someone who does ~ Penelope Douglas
Too Much Power quotes by Penelope Douglas
You're imprisoned within a self that doesn't feel wholly yours...But also, to you that self often feels deeply contaminated."
I nodded.
"But you give your thoughts too much power, Aza. Thoughts are only thoughts. They are not you. You do belong to yourself, even when your thoughts don't."
"But your thoughts are you. I think therefore I am, right?"
"No, not really. A fuller formation of Descartes's philosophy would be Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum. 'I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.' Descartes wanted to know if you could really know that anything was real, but he believed his ability to doubt reality proved that, while it might not be real, he was. You are as real as anyone, and your doubts make you more real, not less. ~ John Green
Too Much Power quotes by John Green
How does it feel to be a real princess?" Cinder flinched. The chip tumbled off her finger and she barely caught it. "So far it's not nearly as fun as one would imagine. What were you saying about having too much power and responsibility and feeling like you're going to let everyone down? Because that all sounded pretty familiar. ~ Marissa Meyer
Too Much Power quotes by Marissa Meyer
the egalitarian lifestyles of hunter-gatherers exist because the individuals care a lot about status. Individuals in these societies end up roughly equal because everyone is struggling to ensure that nobody gets too much power over him or her. This is invisible-hand egalitarianism. ~ Paul Bloom
Too Much Power quotes by Paul Bloom
Writing is the act of creation. Put words on a page, words to sentences, sentences to paragraphs, paragraphs to seven-book epic fantasy cycles with books so heavy you could choke a hippo. But don't give writing too much power, either. A wizard controls his magic; it doesn't control him. ~ Chuck Wendig
Too Much Power quotes by Chuck Wendig
Most times he knew there was no hope for Arjuro and Gargarin and Lirah and De Lancey. Too much pain in the past and too much power working against them in the present day. But as he watched Arjuro prop up De Lancey to better remove the arrow, Froi saw the foolishness of dreamers, and he decided he'd like to die so foolish. With a dream in his heart about possibilities rather than a chain of hopelessness. Finnikin had once said that was the only way to live. That he wanted to drown in hope rather than wallow in despair. ~ Melina Marchetta
Too Much Power quotes by Melina Marchetta
We have made some collective mistakes as a species, it's true – invested too much power in things we can't see, let alone control. But look at the world we have, Chiku. For all its failings, things could be a great deal worse. No one's died in any wars lately, or been murdered, or left to rot in a prison, or been denied the basic allocation of fresh food and drinking water. No one's been tortured for their beliefs or made to feel like a pariah because of their sexual preferences. ~ Alastair Reynolds
Too Much Power quotes by Alastair Reynolds
All democracies are based on the proposition that power is very dangerous and that it is extremely important not to let any one person or small group have too much power for too long a time ~ Aldous Huxley
Too Much Power quotes by Aldous Huxley
By ensuring that no one in government has too much power, the Constitution helps protect ordinary Americans every day against abuse of power by those in authority. ~ John Roberts
Too Much Power quotes by John Roberts
Some people had too much power and too much cruelty to live. Some people were too horrible, no matter if you loved them; no matter that you had to make yourself terrible too, in order to stop them. Some things just had to be done.
I forgive myself, thought Fire. Today, I forgive myself. ~ Kristin Cashore
Too Much Power quotes by Kristin Cashore
Laws could be passed to keep the leader of a government from getting too much power. ~ Thomas More
Too Much Power quotes by Thomas More
No, it will never have enough power until I can spin the wheels at the end
of the straightaway in high gear. Too much power is never enough ... ~ Mark Donohue
Too Much Power quotes by Mark Donohue
Consider the black widow spider. It's a timid little beastie, useful and, for my taste, the prettiest of the arachnids, with its shiny, patent-leather finish and its red hourglass trademark. But the poor thing has the fatal misfortune of possessing enormously too much power for its size. So everybody kills it on sight. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Too Much Power quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Too much power. Too much. Even the Blood weren't meant to wield this much power. Even Witch had never controlled this much power. This one did. This young Queen. This daughter of his soul. With effort, Saetan steadied his breathing. He could accept her. He could love her. Or he could fear her. The decision was his, and whatever he decided here, now, he would have to live with. ~ Anne Bishop
Too Much Power quotes by Anne Bishop
The box was beginning to feel like another person in my house, a person with too much power for the space she took up. ~ Diane Chamberlain
Too Much Power quotes by Diane Chamberlain
Everyone has their own insecurities, regardless of how you look or how people perceive you, but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me, real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body. ~ Devon Aoki
Too Much Power quotes by Devon Aoki
The modern State, whether in a totalitarian or a democratic country, has far too much power, and we are probably right to fear it. ~ Anthony Burgess
Too Much Power quotes by Anthony Burgess
Soviet-style communism failed, not because it was intrinsically evil, but because it was flawed. It allowed too few people to usurp too much power. Twenty-first century market capitalism, American-style, will fail for the same reasons. Both are edifices constructed by human intelligence, undone by human nature. ~ Arundhati Roy
Too Much Power quotes by Arundhati Roy
At bottom, politics was a hullabaloo of equal and individual competitors who would only be guaranteed to cooperate for one cause: the elimination of anybody who threatened to step out of line and grab too much power for himself. It follows that there was nothing resembling today's political parties ... Since the fall of the monarchy in 510 BC, Roman domestic politics had been a long, inconclusive class struggle, suspended for long periods by foreign wars. during one never-to-be-forgotten confrontation over a debt crisis in 493 BC, the entire population withdrew its labor (14). ~ Anthony Everitt
Too Much Power quotes by Anthony Everitt
There's no such thing as too much power! ~ Wolfgang Gullich
Too Much Power quotes by Wolfgang Gullich
There is no such thing as too much snow. ~ Doug Coombs
Too Much Power quotes by Doug Coombs
Nothing destroys authority more than the unequal and untimely interchange of power stretched too far and relaxed too much. ~ Francis Bacon
Too Much Power quotes by Francis Bacon
Power corrupts. If the Church is given too much power, it will become corrupted. So to keep the Church in line with the teachings of Christ, we must make sure that it can never have temporal power. Religion has its place and politics has its own. These two should not be mixed together or the result would be catastrophic. ~ Ali Sina
Too Much Power quotes by Ali Sina
I just can't right now," she said, staring down at her design book. "Price, I can't. I'm sorry." She bit her lip and went silent. I looked back at my blueprints. Someday I'd punish her for this. Someday I'd exact revenge for all my suffering and make her beg for my touch and my cock. She thought I had too much power to hurt her? She hadn't seen anything yet. ~ Annabel Joseph
Too Much Power quotes by Annabel Joseph
She understood now that while it had been wrong to kill Cansrel, it had also been right. The boy with the strange eyes had helped her to see the rightness of it. The boy who'd killed Archer. Some people had too much power and too much cruelty to live. Some people were too terrible, no matter if you loved them; no matter that you had to make yourself terrible too, in order to stop them. Some things just had to be done.
I forgive myself, though Fire. Today, I forgive myself. ~ Kristin Cashore
Too Much Power quotes by Kristin Cashore
I've always thought the pre-Revolutionary system was more elegant, but it did concentrate too much power in the hands of one person. Keyes says that at least you knew who the man was then. The person who represents a Lobby in Congress is never the one who makes the real decisions; the real leaders are rarely identifiable and are never held responsible for their actions. If a puppet gets in trouble they sacrifice him and haul out another. I don't doubt that that's true, at least some of the time, but it's certainly not the whole story. If a Lobby consistently acts against the public interest, its voting power dwindles away. Keyes says that's a cynical illusion: all the polls reflect is how much money a Lobby has put into advertising. ~ Joe Haldeman
Too Much Power quotes by Joe Haldeman
If you try to pull too much power through too soon, you will injure yourself. ~ Frederick Lenz
Too Much Power quotes by Frederick Lenz
The strongest argument for free enterprise is that it prevents anybody from having too much power. Whether that person is a government official, a trade union official, or a business executive. If forces them to put up or shut up. They either have to deliver the goods, produce something that people are willing to pay for, are willing to buy, or else they have to go into a different business. ~ Milton Friedman
Too Much Power quotes by Milton Friedman
We must be wary of granting too much power to natural selection by viewing all basic capacities of our brain as direct adaptations. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Too Much Power quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
What connects two thousand years of genocide? Too much power in too few hands. ~ Simon Wiesenthal
Too Much Power quotes by Simon Wiesenthal
I have lived centuries and endured vampire hunts, wars, and betrayals. Until you came into my life, I have never lost control. I never had anything I wanted so much. I never had anything to lose."
She pulled his head down to her and pressed little healing kisses to his throat, to his strong jaw, to the hard corners of his mouth. "You are a good man, Mikhail." She grinned impishly, her blue eyes teasing. "You just have too much power for your own good. But don't worry, I know this American girl. She's very disrespectful, and she'll take all that arrogant starch out of you."
His answering laughter was slow in coming, but with it the terrible tension drained out of him. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her off her feet, swinging her around, crushing her to him. As always, her heart jumped wildly. His mouth fastened on hers as he whirled them across the room to land on the bed.
Raven's laughter was soft and taunting. "We can't possibly again."
His body was settling over hers, his knee nudging her thighs apart so he could press against her soft, welcoming body. "I think you should just stay naked and waiting for me," he growled, stroking her to ensure her readiness.
She lifted her hips invitingly. "I'm not sure we'll know how to do this in a bed." The last word was a gasp of pleasure as he joined their bodies.
His mouth found hers again, laughter mingling with the sweet taste of passion. His hands shaped her breasts possessively and then tunn ~ Christine Feehan
Too Much Power quotes by Christine Feehan
Falling in love, although it resulted in altered body chemistry and was therefore real, was a hormonally induced delusional state, according to him. In addition it was humiliating, because it put you at a disadvantage, it gave the love object too much power. As for sex per se, it lacked both challenge and novelty, and was on the whole a deeply imperfect solution to the problem of intergenerational genetic transfer. ~ Margaret Atwood
Too Much Power quotes by Margaret Atwood
I had too much power, I thought. I might consume him out of my own curiosity simply because I could. I could stay or go. He could not. He had too much power, I thought. He could reject me. He could break me in two. ~ Rebecca Walker
Too Much Power quotes by Rebecca Walker
It is a melancholy reflection that liberty should be equally exposed to danger whether the government have too much power or too little power and that the line which divides these extremes should be so inaccurately defined by experience. ~ James Madison
Too Much Power quotes by James Madison
Hate is giving them too much power. ~ Samantha Young
Too Much Power quotes by Samantha Young
I gave you too much power because I always yearned for your love, but I guess the love card wasn't meant for me to have in my life. I always thought I was dealt a bad hand because that card never appeared in the deck. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Too Much Power quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
It strikes me as hubris that Universal will buy EMI. What it will do is create a super-major that will have far too much power ... I think when Universal goes up over 40 percent market share, I don't see how reasonable regulators can countenance. It will impact not just labels, but artists and cultural diversity. ~ Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
Too Much Power quotes by Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
And money, if the pile gets high enough, is something like a big political party: it does as much harm as it does good, it puts too much power in too few hands, and the closer you come to it the dirtier you get. ~ Gregory David Roberts
Too Much Power quotes by Gregory David Roberts
Is it possible to specialize in more than one element?"
She laughed and shook her head. "No. Too much power. No one could handle all that magic, not without losing her mind."
Oh. Great. ~ Richelle Mead
Too Much Power quotes by Richelle Mead
I was once a big fan of Tom's - before I got to know him. I'm sure many people could say the same thing about me or any other celebrity. But this is different; most actors are not in charge of your faith. I don't doubt that Tom is in Scientology because he believes in it, but to me he has simply been given too much power by his church. ~ Leah Remini
Too Much Power quotes by Leah Remini
No government should be given too much power, or the people comprising that government will use the power in the worst ways possible; individual freedom, when used within the boundaries of morality, is the highest good. The Constitution was written as a living testimony to this view. ~ Andrew Breitbart
Too Much Power quotes by Andrew Breitbart
Never let people see what you want, because they will not let you have it. Never let anybody see what you feel, because it gives them too much power. You're probably better off not showing weakness whenever you can avoid it, because they'll go for you. ~ Mike Nichols
Too Much Power quotes by Mike Nichols
If you can abuse your power you have too much. ~ Marty Rubin
Too Much Power quotes by Marty Rubin
Firmly, Luke put the thought out of his mind. Mourning the loss of a friend and teacher was both fitting and honorable, but to dwell unnecessarily on that loss was to give the past too much power over the present. The ~ Timothy Zahn
Too Much Power quotes by Timothy Zahn
Too much of a good thing can be bad. After all, you can drown even in clear, clean, pure water. ~ J. Grant Howard
Too Much Power quotes by J. Grant Howard
You are still young, free.. Do yourself a favor. Before it's too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late. ~ Jhumpa Lahiri
Too Much Power quotes by Jhumpa Lahiri
If you need help or advice, ask for it, but don't worry too much about hurting other people's feelings by not doing what they say. If your gut says no, trust it. Do what seems right. ~ Ariel Gore
Too Much Power quotes by Ariel Gore
I write about whatever turns up. Every single day, I'm sitting down for three to five hours in the evenings wrestling away and producing far too much verse. ~ Felix Dennis
Too Much Power quotes by Felix Dennis
Ranulf had spent much of his life watching those he loved wrestle with the seductive, lethal lure of kingship. It had proved the ruination of his cousin Stephen, a good man who had not made a good king. For his sister Maude, it had been an unrequited love affair, a passion she could neither capture nor renounce. For Hywel, it had been an illusion, a golden glow ever shimmering along the horizon. He believed that his nephew had come the closest to mastery of it, but at what cost? ~ Sharon Kay Penman
Too Much Power quotes by Sharon Kay Penman
He showed it to me with all the confiding zest of a man who has been living too much alone. This seclusion was overflowing now in an excess of confidence, and I had the good luck to be the recipient. ~ H.G.Wells
Too Much Power quotes by H.G.Wells
Generally speaking, companies get into bankruptcy as a kind of meritocracy. Somebody made some sort of big mistake, to get into bankruptcy, and very often, a part of the mistake is too much leverage. ~ Wilbur Ross
Too Much Power quotes by Wilbur Ross
Humans are capable of so much more. Power mongers like you have stripped away what is most valuable to us, the importance of our heritage and family values. We have been robbed of this, blinded by your authority, while you encourage us to burry ourselves in debt and rely on our corrupt governments. Men and women around the world have been forced to work long hours to keep up with inflated debts, all the while abandoning the families they struggle to support. History repeats, and repeats. It's time to break the cycle and start anew. ~ Aaron B. Powell
Too Much Power quotes by Aaron B. Powell
With sushi, it is all about balance. Sometimes they cut the fish too thick, sometimes too thin. Often the rice is overcooked or undercooked. Not enough rice vinegar or too much. ~ Nobu Matsuhisa
Too Much Power quotes by Nobu Matsuhisa
What is she like? Evanjalin of the Monts?' he asked.

Finnikin thought for a moment. 'Strong. In here,' he said, thumping his chest twice. 'Humbling. Ruthless. Cunning. She can love people with a fierceness that I have not seen before.' He smiled when he realized he was talking too much. 'And she looks like a Mont woman, so of course she's very beautiful. ~ Melina Marchetta
Too Much Power quotes by Melina Marchetta
Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false; animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Too Much Power quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
I want to build / and raise anew / Theseus' Temple and the Stadiums / and where Pericles lived
But there's no money, too much spent today / I had a guest over and we sat together. ~ Friedrich Holderlin
Too Much Power quotes by Friedrich Holderlin
You'll pray for us sinners; we have sinned too much here. I've always been thinking who would pray for me, and whether there's any one in the world to do it. My dear boy, I'm awfully stupid about that. You wouldn't believe it. Awfully. You see, however stupid I am about it, I keep thinking, I keep thinking--from time to time, of course, not all the while. It's impossible, I think, for the devils to forget to drag me down to hell with their hooks when I die. Then I wonder--hooks? Where would they get them? What of? Iron hooks? Where do they forge them? Have they a foundry there of some sort? The monks in the monastery probably believe that there's a ceiling in hell, for instance. Now I'm ready to believe in hell, but without a ceiling. It makes it more refined, more enlightened, more Lutheran that is. And, after all, what does it matter whether it has a ceiling or hasn't? But, do you know, there's a damnable question involved in it? If there's no ceiling there can be no hooks, and if there are no hooks it all breaks down, which is unlikely again, for then there would be none to drag me down to hell, and if they don't drag me down what justice is there in the world? Il faudrait les inventer, those hooks, on purpose for me alone, for if you only knew, Alyosha, what a blackguard I am. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Too Much Power quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Luckily, the injured had all been triaged in another area, but there was too much smoke in the air to confirm that the others had moved to safety. Wheezing, Wells ran forward, coughing and wiping his eyes with his sleeves as he called out for anyone who needed help. There ~ Kass Morgan
Too Much Power quotes by Kass Morgan
The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble. It therefore becomes desirable that approximate practical methods of applying quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of complex atomic systems without too much computation. ~ Paul Dirac
Too Much Power quotes by Paul Dirac
What [Tulio Serafin] said that impressed me was: "When one wants to find a gesture, when you want to find how to act on stage, all you have to do is listen to the music. The composer has already seen to that." If you take the trouble to really listen with your soul and with your ears - and I say soul and ears because the mind must work, but not too much also - you will find every gesture there. And it is all true, you know. ~ Maria Callas
Too Much Power quotes by Maria Callas
Too much fame, money or alcohol can make you stupid ~ Jeffrey Fry
Too Much Power quotes by Jeffrey Fry
It's a common myth that athletes and other highly active people need the protein from meat and dairy to fuel their activities and build and repair muscles and other bodily tissues. In fact, there is growing evidence that consumption of too much protein can lead to very serious health issues, including kidney disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. The active body can get all the protein it needs from a diverse, 100% plant-based diet. ~ Sharon Gannon
Too Much Power quotes by Sharon Gannon
It is not that I do not want you. Only that I might want you too much. And for too long ~ Samantha Shannon
Too Much Power quotes by Samantha Shannon
I do text a lot. Sometimes, at night, my thumbs hurt because I've texted so much, so I definitely text too much. ~ Miranda Cosgrove
Too Much Power quotes by Miranda Cosgrove
As it happened that Elizabeth had much rather not, she endeavoured in her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind. Such relief, however, as it was in her power to afford, ~ Jane Austen
Too Much Power quotes by Jane Austen
If a people have no word for something, either it does not matter to them or it matters too much to talk about. ~ Edgar Friedenberg
Too Much Power quotes by Edgar Friedenberg
But it was him, not God or any other ... illusory power ... who tore me away from that fire. I give credit where credit is due. One human being made a choice, he acted, and I owe him my life. No god killed my parents, nearly killed James, and spared me. I know that, and I can't go back and believe in things that I used to believe in.. or that I used to want to believe in. I don't know how much faith I had to lose that night, but whatever I have is gone now ~ Jessica Park
Too Much Power quotes by Jessica Park
By taking a look back at history, we can easily come to understand how the elite gained so much control over society, and what their motives are. The people in power do not care about the power of the people. They care about control, they do not want people to be smart or independent, they want them to be good workers, obedient and unaware. ~ Joseph P. Kauffman
Too Much Power quotes by Joseph P. Kauffman
Everything in physiology follows the rule that too much can be as bad as too little. There are optimal points of allostatic balance. For example, while a moderate amount of exercise generally increases bone mass, thirty-year-old athletes who run 40 to 50 miles a week can wind up with decalcified bones, decreased bone mass, increased risk of stress fractures and scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine) - their skeletons look like those of seventy-year-olds. To put exercise in perspective, imagine this: sit with a group of hunter-gatherers from the African grasslands and explain to them that in our world we have so much food and so much free time that some of us run 26 miles in a day, simply for the sheer pleasure of it. They are likely to say, "Are you crazy? That's stressful." Throughout hominid history, if you're running 26 miles in a day, you're either very intent on eating someone or someone's very intent on eating you. ~ Robert M. Sapolsky
Too Much Power quotes by Robert M. Sapolsky
The women we really love are the women who complete us, who have the qualities we can borrow and so become something nearer to whole men. Just as we complete them, of course; it's not a one-way thing. Leola and I, when romance was stripped away, were too much alike; our strengths and weaknesses were too nearly the same. Together we would have doubled our gains and our losses, but that isn't what love is. ~ Robertson Davies
Too Much Power quotes by Robertson Davies
When I went to the analyst for a kind of preliminary meeting, he said, 'I'll be able to fix you so that you'll write much more music than you do now.' I said, 'Good heavens! I already write too much, it seems to me.' That promise of his put me off. ~ John Cage
Too Much Power quotes by John Cage
I've always found that you can control people better if you don't see too much of them. ~ William Lyon Mackenzie King
Too Much Power quotes by William Lyon Mackenzie King
Don't smoke too much, drink too much, eat too much or work too much. We're all on the road to the grave - but there's no need to be in the passing lane. ~ Robert Orben
Too Much Power quotes by Robert Orben
Jackson [Rathbone], who plays Jasper Cullen. He's such a mysterious kid. I've been friends with him for a long time, and I still don't get him, and I don't think he gets himself! He's really friendly, but there's this mystery about him and he's talented in so many ways. It's too much talent for one person. He reminds me of a vampire. ~ Kellan Lutz
Too Much Power quotes by Kellan Lutz
Before the invention of printing press, the problem was, lack of information, and now due to the rise of social media, it is too much information - the former leads to mental starvation and the latter to mental obesity. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Too Much Power quotes by Abhijit Naskar
It was in the waiting that a person experienced too much of himself. Memories, doubts, regrets, anxieties, the whole range of possibilities the future contained
they all swirled together in the mind like a soup. ~ Justin Cronin
Too Much Power quotes by Justin Cronin
People don't make too much money around here, but what comes with that is a different definition of what it means to be well-off. You're chairman of the board if you need twelve dollars a week and you make twelve dollars a week. If you've also got someone within ten minutes' walk who can make you laugh and someone else within a five-minute walk who can help you mourn, you're a millionaire. If on top of all that you've got a buddy or three who'll feed you delicious things and paint you pictures and dance with you, and another friend who'll watch your kids so you can go out dancing ... that's the billionaire lifestyle. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Too Much Power quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
I think I get way too much credit for making what people consider to be smart choices, but it's only because I made a decision to stop worrying about making money. I had done network sitcoms. I had a nest egg. ~ Lizzy Caplan
Too Much Power quotes by Lizzy Caplan
Oh ... why not?' he smiled. "This valley is a pleasant spot for meditation. I like New England ... it is here that I have experienced some of my greatest successes - and several notable defeats. Defeat, you know, is not such a bad thing, if there's not too much of it ... it makes for humility, and humility makes for caution, therefore for safety.' ("Trace") ~ Jerome Bixby
Too Much Power quotes by Jerome Bixby
You know too little and it doesn't exist. You know too much and it doesn't exist. Writing is drawing the essence of what we know out of the shadows. That is what writing is about. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Too Much Power quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Especially her father was watching with much attention to ensure that Emma didn't have "too much" of leisure time (or even happy emotions) in her life; that's why she was sometimes truly missing it and didn't have much of anything interesting going on, being surrounded mostly by depressing boredom of everlasting routine duties she was fulfilling daily, being a responsible and hardworking person since early ages. ~ Sahara Sanders
Too Much Power quotes by Sahara Sanders
If you listen to really deep ambient records that don't move too much, very still records, long after those records are finished, you might find yourself listening for hours to the sound of the room. ~ Bill Laswell
Too Much Power quotes by Bill Laswell
I'm a Libra. I'm happy to be an air sign, but I do think I have a little too much air in my chart as a whole - some more water would be useful, especially in my personal life, as an emotional counterweight to all that abstraction. ~ Eleanor Catton
Too Much Power quotes by Eleanor Catton
Was it too much to ask that she find someone who wanted the same things in life as she did
a home, someone to lean on when the not-so-perfect times came crashing down? ~ Christie Craig
Too Much Power quotes by Christie Craig
To be incapable of taking one's enemies, one's accidents, even one's misdeeds seriously for very long - that is the sign of strong, full natures in whom there is an excess of the power to form, to mold, to recuperate and to forget (a good example of this in modem times is Mirabeau, who had no memory for insults and vile actions done him and was unable to forgive simply because he - forgot). Such a man shakes off with a single shrug many vermin that eat deep into others; here alone genuine 'love of one's enemies' is possible - supposing it to be possible at all on earth. How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies! - and such reverence is a bridge to love. - For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture 'the enemy' as the man of ressentiment conceives him - and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived 'the evil enemy,' 'the Evil One,' and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a 'good one' - himself! ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Too Much Power quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Few of us have seen the stars as folk saw them then - our cities and towns cast too much light into the night - but, from the village of Wall, the stars were laid out like worlds or like ideas, uncountable as the trees in a forest or the leaves on a tree. ~ Neil Gaiman
Too Much Power quotes by Neil Gaiman
You always had a choice. You just never made the right ones." A voice said to me. "You always had a choice. No matter what anyone says or tells you to do, look to yourself what's inside of you is stronger than any spell. There is no blame even though it is easy to blame others. We are broken each and every one of us but it is that place that is broken where the light shines through. To see the light in the world you have to see darkness as well, for light shines brightest when there is darkness. And darkness always makes way for the light. We have to humble our darkness that resides in us. We have to silence our appetites so our true power can rise. Only when we can silence our minds can we harness our true potential. 'No one's ever needed to do it as much as you do. This is your moment, believe in yourself. There is never anything to fear. ~ Mi-ran Isaacs
