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.

It's okay for Christians throughout centuries to exterminate races and for their priests to rape little kids throughout decades but trying to give the people the power to think and be individual that's evil?

Thoughts have power thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.

I think I have told you but if I have not you must have understood that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see.

Also as I lay there thinking of my vision I could see it all again and feel the meaning with a part of me like a strange power glowing in my body but when the part of me that talks would try to make words for the meaning it would be like fog and get away from me.

As you enter positions of trust and power dream a little before you think.

I think every individual has his or her own power and it's a matter of working taking time and defining what that power is.

I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed you can have it and possess it but if you open your fingers in any way you can lose it just as quickly.

The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power.

If you think of paying court to the men in power your eternal ruin is assured.

A politician's goal is always to manipulate public debate. I think there are some politicians with higher goals. But all of them get corrupted by power.

If you lose the power to laugh you lose the power to think.

King's response to our crisis can be put in one word: revolution. A revolution in our priorities a reevaluation of our values a reinvigoration of our public life and a fundamental transformation of our way of thinking and living that promotes a transfer of power from oligarchs and plutocrats to everyday people and ordinary citizens.

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.

The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals.

I think that the power is the principle. The principle of moving forward as though you have the confidence to move forward eventually gives you confidence when you look back and see what you've done.

Well I think by definition all power has limits.

Either you think or else others have to think for you and take power from you pervert and discipline your natural tastes civilize and sterilize you.

What then do you call your soul? What idea have you of it? You cannot of yourselves without revelation admit the existence within you of anything but a power unknown to you of feeling and thinking.

Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.

The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.

Those who desire to rise as high as our human condition allows must renounce intellectual pride the omnipotence of clear thinking belief in the absolute power of logic.
