The worst pain a man can suffer: to have insight into much and power over nothing.

Numerous politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. Never in history has the press seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians.

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety, but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold, like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed, you can have it and possess it, but if you open your fingers in any way, you can lose it just as quickly.

Too many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than intelligence.

We are born to action and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
