Powerful

Famous quotes containing the word powerful:

“Throughout the 1980’s, we did hear too much about individual gain and the ethos of selfishness and greed. We did not hear enough about how to be a good member of a community, to define the common good and to repair the social contract. And we also found that while prosperity does not trickle down from the most powerful to the rest of us, all too often indifference and even intolerance do.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)

“Nothing endears so much a friend as sorrow for his death. The pleasure of his company has not so powerful an influence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
