For where the instrument ordspråk

For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense.

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)

Dante Alighieri

Water is one of the basic needs of survival of mankind and water can destroy it, too. That is the power of NATURE. But there is an even more powerful dimension of NATURE which is a blessing to humans; courage, intelligence, compassion and the power to stand again.

Reason is man's faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man's ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man's instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man's instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

People get stuck on power, but good swings can generate effortless speed, not powerless speed. Powerless speed comes from this violent effort to swing the club, and that's not how it works.

When you have two highly placed cooperators, it eases the prosecution's burden substantially. At the same time, when you're faced with officers who are trying a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil defense, your corroborator is bolstered because the hear-no-evil see-no-evil defense just doesn't strike jurors as common sense.

What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil: envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.

Buddha (563 f.Kr.-483 f.Kr.)

Buddha

The thing is, if you control the Senate meetings, you control the gavel. And the gavel is a very important instrument... an instrument of power. An instrument that establishes the agenda.

Dan Quayle (1947-1947)

Dan Quayle

Language is power, life and the instrument of culture, the instrument of domination and liberation

Angela Carter (1940-1992)

Angela Carter

There's a new movement which sees corporate power, government power and police power as merging together to marginalize the rights of indigenous peoples, the powerless and workers. To participate in a police [protest] plan is almost an insult.

Given Cheney's background on national security going back to the Ford years, his time on the House Intelligence Committee, and as secretary of defense, Bush said at the top of his list of things he wanted Cheney to do was intelligence. In the first months of the new administration, Cheney made the rounds of the intelligence agencies - the CIA, the National Security Agency, which intercepted communications, and the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency.

To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute

Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977)

Vladimir Nabokov

The power which money gives is that of brute force; it is the power of the bludgeon and the bayonet.

William Cobbett (1763-1835)

William Cobbett

Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses

Quentin Crisp (1908-1999)

Quentin Crisp

Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864)
