Power


Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
- Abraham Lincoln

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment
and the other by acts of love. Power based on love
is a thousand times more effective and permanent
then the one derived from fear of punishment.
- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

Giving is the highest expression of our power.
- Vivian Greene

Know the power of choice.
Fly life on free wings,
and sing to its glory.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
