Famous quotes containing the words power and/or driven:
“Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
And, ere a man hath power to say Behold!
The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
So quick bright things come to confusion.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Are we aware of our obligations to a mob? It is the mob that labour in your fields and serve in your housesthat man your navy, and recruit your armythat have enabled you to defy the world, and can also defy you when neglect and calamity have driven them to despair. You may call the people a mob; but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
