Nowhere has the political power of coal been more obvious than in presidential campaigns.

I like doing things where I can get dirty work with my hands and use power tools. Last weekend I did some grouting.

There is much to dislike about President Obama's approach to the financial crisis. But opposition it seems will have to come from somewhere other than conservatism. The party out of power is also a party out of touch.

But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused dedicated disciplined.

Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who posses it and this I know my lords: that where law ends tyranny begins.

You want a culture where citizens are free to express themselves and so live in the openness necessary to the functioning of a successful economy? Israel has a free press much of it openly hostile to the parties in power.

I think that if your approach is one where you don't want to alienate anybody you're going to have to soften the viewpoint or the information that you're offering to such an extent that it doesn't have the power to make any difference. You have to take that risk.

I am opposed to the accumulation of executive power anywhere.

The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart in the human power to reflect in human meekness and human responsibility.

If the Holy Spirit can take over the subconscious with our consent and cooperation then we have almighty Power working at the basis of our lives then we can do anything we ought to do go anywhere we ought to go and be anything we ought to be.

I don't have a set of tenets but I live an ethical life. I practice a humility that presupposes there's a power greater than myself. And I always believe don't inflict harm where it's not necessary.

Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong wrong will generally be done.

Where an excess of power prevails property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions his person his faculties or his possessions.

Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer and then itself marches upon neighboring lands killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?

Sir I am no sycophant or worshipper of power anywhere.

The places I visit in any given week are my home so when I'm somewhere that feels good to me it's a real game changer. If a place causes me to have a strong reaction be it positive or negative it'll often find its way into my music.
