Famous quotes containing the words power and/or failure:
“Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many.... The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage is that the two people are incompatible—that is, that one is male and the other female.”
