Honore de Balzac
  • Power is action the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.

  • There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.

  • Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.

  • Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.

  • Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
