There is nothing more ordspråk

There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power.

William Henry Harrison (1773-1841)

William Henry Harrison

The President can exercise no power which cannot be fairly and reasonably traced to some specific grant of power . . . in the Federal Constitution or in an act of Congress passed in pursuance thereof. There is no undefined residuum of power which he can exercise because it seems to him to be in the public interest.

William Howard Taft (1857-1930)

William Howard Taft

I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.

Sokrates (470 f.Kr.-399 f.Kr.)

Socrates

I always love hearing from young people. But when I hear that my book has helped free someone from the horribly corrupting pressures that suck millions of kids into self-destructive lifestyles ? well, as a dad, that means a lot to me.

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -- because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

The noblest exercise of the mind within doors, and most befitting a person of quality, is study

William Ramsay (1852-)

Harboring angry thoughts and ill feelings can be destructive.

Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama (1935-)

Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama

We saw in Hurricane Katrina that they had just (ended) a year and a half of focused planning on dealing with that exact scenario, and they fell on their face. So just to say you have a plan on the shelf or a plan in place is not the final answer. You've got to exercise it. And if you don't exercise it and work the bugs out, Mother Nature is going to exercise it for you. And that's definitely not where you want to test your plan.

I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them ''You are supreme: exercise your power'.' They say, ''That's right: tell us what to do';' and I tell them. I say ''Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me'.' And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

Fame is almost a poison. I couldn't care less, in fact I lived better when I was a nobody. Sport is born clean and it would stay that way if it was the athletes who ran it for the pleasure of taking part. But then the fans and the media intervene and finish up by corrupting it with the pressure that they exercise.

A perfect tragedy is the noblest production of human nature.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

Joseph Addison

Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

It's always fun, it's not like it hurts my feelings or anything, that's just the way it is, ... It's just basketball at its finest. I enjoy it and take it all in stride.

An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, the power to destroy.

Daniel Webster (1782-1852)
