"Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife." ― Samuel Richardson Topic(s): Power Tags: things More From Samuel Richardson "Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it." "Women do not often fall in love with philosophers." "From sixteen to twenty, all women, kept in humor by their hopes and by their attractions, appear to be good-natured." More In Power "It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It’s the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That’s the power of the gospel."― Ben Harper "Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Only engage, and then the mind grows heated. Begin, and then the work will be completed."― Jean Anouilh "It was not about losing my mental power; it’s about not feeling good about my contribution to the game."― Garry Kasparov
