Scattering Power

Famous quotes containing the words scattering and/or power:

    Or of the garden where we first mislaid
    Simplicity of wish and will, forgetting
    Out of what cognate splendor all things came
    To take their scattering names;
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    To the excessively fearful the chief characteristic of power is its arbitrariness. Man had to gain enormously in confidence before he could conceive an all-powerful God who obeys his own laws.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
