"Hateful is the power, and pitiable is the life, of those who wish to be feared rather than loved." ― Cornelius Nepos Topic(s): Power 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 "Success has a simple formula: do your best, and people may like it."― Sam Ewing "When I lost my friends, it was because I had used the power of giving on them recklessly. I swept into their lives with my big fat checkbook, and I erased years of obstacles for them overnight – but sometimes, in the process, I also accidentally erased years of dignity."― Elizabeth Gilbert
