I have never been able to conceive how any rational beingcould propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want totest a man's character, give him power.

Conflictbuilds character. Crisis defines it.

Always the dullness of the fool is the whetstone of the wits

To know the pains of power, we must go to those who haveit; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.

Donot wrong or hate your neighbor for it is not he that you wrong but yourself.

It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow.

Imaginationis the eye of your soul.

Only few men think, but all have opinions.

Livingwith integrity means: not settling for less than what you know you deserve inyour relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speakingyour truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in waysthat are in harmony

Onceyou consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things backthe way they are.

It seemedrather incongruous that in a society of super sophisticated communication, weoften suffer from a shortage of listeners.
