"The power of fortune is confessed only by the miserable, for the happy impute all their success to prudence or merit." "Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest." More In Power "I’m not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing."― Jack Nicholson "In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme."― Aristotle "If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it."― Julius Caesar
