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

Thereverse side also has a reverse side.

Ignorance is a bold, and knowledge reserved

The exercise of power is determined by thousands ofinteractions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, allthe more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyonehas a small part of himself in both.

Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the goodintentions of those who create it.

Old wood best of burn, old friend to trust and old authors to read.

The art of showmanship is to give the public what is wants just before it knows what it wants.

Sometimes the man of action is the fellow who has just got both his feat in hot water.

To err is human; to forgive is divine pathway

History is the witness of the times, the light of truth.

The function of genius is to furnish cretins with ideas twenty year later.

One whodoes not look ahead remains behind.
