Famous quotes containing the words air and/or power:
“I wonder whether mankind could not get along without all these names, which keep increasing every day, and hour, and moment; till at the last the very air will be full of them; and even in a great plain, men will be breathing each other’s breath, owing to the vast multitude of words they use, that consume all the air, just as lamp-burners do gas.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
