Power

Power is not alluring to pure minds

I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life

What I do and what I dream include thee, as the wine must taste of its own grapes

Where love reigns the impossible may be obtained.

Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined, lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.

If our two loves be one, or thou and I love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die

Everyone sees a little piece of world, together, we can see the whole one.

Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time

We are twice armed if we fight with faith

A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself

The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and nothing else!

There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life

Power, after love, is the first source of happiness

The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse

Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey.

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.

Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
