#Power

"a group of people who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done"

"[On Schopenhauer in Black and White] Schopenhauer's views of love are flawed. Love can't be merely an illusion of the mind to aid in procreation, but the path to redemption for an otherwise violently selfish species. Past human greatness has proven that when challenged, love can overpower impulsive instinct, and in essence, the vilest aspects of our nature."

"My past is black and my future is blank. My only canvas is the present. The best color to paint with is love."

"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle."

"We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, deconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practicing letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking - while cultivating power and clarity in response to difficult situations."

"Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets."

"Behold, the number five is at hand. Grab it and shake and harness the power of networking."

"You‘ve been given the innate power to shape your life."

"Today is the only day in which we have any power."

"The greater the spirit, the more one is alone."

"Knowledge is not made for understanding; it is made for cutting."

"More powerful than the mighty armies is an idea whose time has come."

"I am Clap Man. It’s a reverse super power, because instead of me doing the heavy lifting, I just applaud and encourage and others do all the work."

"It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life."

"I wonder if fears ever really go away, or if they just lose their power over us."

"Love and faith are not common companions. More commonly power and fear consort with faith....Power is not to be crossed; one must respect and obey. Power means strength, whereas love is a human frailty the people mistrust. It is a sad fact of life that power and fear are the fountainheads of faith."

"You are not what others think you are. You are what God knows you are."

"My heart only grows more powerful the more my flowing love goes unabsorbed, unobserved, and unappreciated."

"Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art. They seem to be the purpose of God for his whole creation."

"Today is a new day. Don't let your history interfere with your destiny! Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances and start taking action towards the life you want. You have the power and the time to shape your life. Break free from the poisonous victim mentality and embrace the truth of your greatness. You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!"
