  El único propósito por el que puede ejercerse legítimamente el poder sobre cualquier miembro de una comunidad civilizada, en contra de su voluntad, es evitar el daño a otros. Su propio bien, ya sea físico o moral, no es garantía suficiente.

• Power is a poison well known for thousands of years. If only no one were ever to acquire material power over others! But to the human being who has faith in some force that holds dominion over all of us, and who is therefore conscious of his own limitations, power is not necessarily fatal. For those, however, who are unaware of any higher sphere, it is a deadly poison. For them there is no antidote.

  Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

• In 1776, 1950, or now, there's never been a golden age of liberty, and there never will be. People who value freedom will always have to defend it from those who claim the right to wield power over others. ... And, in today's world, that means more than a musket by the door. It means being an active citizen.

  David Boaz

• A person is not a democrat thanks to his ignorance of literature and the arts, nor an elitist because he or she has cultivated them. The possession of knowledge makes for unjust power over others only if used for that very purpose: a physician or lawyer or clergyman can exploit or humiliate others, or he can be a humanitarian and a benefactor. In any case, it is absurd to conjure up behind anybody who exploits his educated status the existence of an "elite" scheming to oppress the rest of us.

• ¿Tiene algo bueno la corrección política? Sí, porque nos hace reexaminar actitudes, y eso siempre es útil. El problema es que, con todos los movimientos populares, la franja lunática deja rápidamente de serlo; la cola empieza a menear al perro. Por cada mujer u hombre que utiliza la idea de examinar nuestros supuestos de forma tranquila y sensata, hay veinte agitadores cuyo verdadero motivo es el deseo de poder sobre los demás. El hecho de que se consideren antirracistas, feministas o lo que sea no les hace menos chusma.

• You give bureaucrats power over others, and when the others are poor and helpless, nothing matches government. More than any single exploitive tyrannical force, the possibility of what government can do is absolutely terrifying.

• There are few problems in the world that economic prosperitycannot help solve. Yet the engines of that prosperity are under fierceattack. The forces that seek power over others have gained the upperhand against those that seek freedom. By harming wealth creation,they cause even more strain on society. Historically, this is nothingnew. State domination over its subjects has roots that connect statism,totalitarianism, communism, and socialism to more modern-day variantsof liberalism and progressivism. It is a constant fight and we mustwin.

• He who stands on tiptoe
  doesn't stand firm.
  He who rushes ahead
  doesn't go far.
  He who tries to shine
  dims his own light.
  He who defines himself
  can't know who he really is.
  He who has power over others
  can't empower himself.
  He who clings to his work
  will create nothing that endures.

• Abusado como abusamos de él en la actualidad, el arte dramático no es en ningún sentido catártico; no es más que una forma de masturbación emocional. Es muy raro encontrar a un actor que no haya visto su carácter afectado para peor por la práctica de su profesión. Nadie puede hacer de la autoexhibición un hábito, nadie puede explotar su personalidad para ejercer una especie de poder hipnótico sobre los demás y permanecer indemne al proceso.

  Aldous Huxley

• It's when people begin using their religion as just a way of getting power over other people that scares me. I'm afraid that's what's going on in a lot of cases right now. When people deliberately tell lies, Creationism for instance, and pretend, "Oh, it's not really religion." I mean they know they're lying, and yet they're the religious people. There's something wrong there.

• How many of those who are insecure seek power over others as a compensation for inadequacy and wind up bringing consequences down upon their heads and those around them? How many hide out in their lives, resist the summons to show up, or live fugitive lives, jealous, projecting onto others, and then wonder why nothing ever really feels quite right. How many proffer compliance with the other, buying peace at the price of soul, and wind up with neither?

• Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
