The second malady is ordspråk

The second malady is the thirst for power. The thirst for power and position is unquenchable. Afflicted with these two maladies man converts the whole world into a madhouse.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

The NCAA tournament is the ultimate prize, and that's the way we want it. But there is an unquenchable thirst out there for college basketball -- and hey, there is always somebody out there willing to marry the ugly stepsister.

Greg Shaheen

Roaming through the jungle of "oohs" and "ahs," searching for a more agreeable noise, I live a life of primitivity with the mind of a child and an unquenchable thirst for sharps and flats.

Duke Ellington (1899-1974)

Boende

Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

Bible

The pulpit and the press have many commonplaces denouncing the thirst for wealth, but if men should take these moralists at their word, and leave off aiming to be rich, the moralists would rush to rekindle at all hazards this love of power in the peo

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Our work has only begun. In our time we have an historic opportunity to shape a global balance of power that favors freedom and that will therefore deepen and extend the peace. And I use the word power broadly, because even more important than military and indeed economic power is the power of ideas, the power of compassion, and the power of hope.

Condoleezza Rice

We know we have a good foundation coming back. The fact we got to this point and we're in position to do this hopefully puts a little thirst and a little hunger in our guys' stomachs for next season.

Brian Reece

We just talk about the responsibilities we have to the game of football in this position. This position of power is important if it's pushed out correctly, if you push your power out to help people and help this organization and do it that way.

Rod Marinelli

The mischief springs from the power which the monied interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining...and unless you become more watchful in your states and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of government have been given or bartered away….
- Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, 1837

Andrew Jackson (1767-1845)

He who overcomes this fierce thirst, difficult to be conquered in this world, sufferings fall off from him, like water-drops from a lotus leaf.

Friedrich Max Muller

I think beneath all of it there's a tremendous power when two people decide to have a child. And inside that power is a very deep hope, and the power of that hope can hopefully overcome the circumstances that could rob them of this world.

David Caruso

The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? / Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? / Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: / But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Bible

Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.

George Bush (1924-1924)

Makt

The world we exist in is fueled by power, greed, by the lust to have more, ... It's a world that's run by the power to contaminate others.

Ralph Wood

If we're to maintain our position as a global power, we need a power like India.

Nicholas Burns
