"There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers." ― Erich Fromm Topic(s): Power More From Erich Fromm "The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that man may become robots." "Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?" "The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind – not the fiend or the sadist." More In Power "If women be educated for dependence; that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop?"― Mary Wollstonecraft "Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs."― Andrew Carnegie "There are many respects in which America, if it can bring itself to act with the magnanimity and the empathy appropriate to its size and power, can be an intelligent example to the world."― J. William Fulbright
