"Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power." ― Alfred Lord Tennyson Topic(s): Power More From Alfred Lord Tennyson "No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don’t knock your friends. Don’t knock your enemies. Don’t knock yourself." "Who is wise in love, love most, say least." "Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers." More In Power "The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious."― Jean Rostand "Never underestimate the power of the State to act out its own massive fantasies."― Don DeLillo "Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up."― Hannah Arendt
