Power

Famous quotes containing the word power:

    But the power of destiny is something awesome; neither wealth, nor Ares, nor a tower, nor dark-hulled ships might escape it.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    I never saw love as luck, as that gift from the gods which put everything else in place, and allowed you to succeed. No, I saw love as reward. One could find it only after one’s virtue, or one’s courage, or self-sacrifice, or generosity, or loss, has succeeded in stirring the power of creation.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    A power I have, but of what strength and nature
    I am not yet instructed.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
