When you have an enemy in your power, deprive him of the means of ever injuring you.

I love power like a musician loves music.

If I were to give liberty to the press, my power could not last three days.

Mahomet was a great man, an intrepid soldier; with a handful of men he triumphed at the battle of Bender [sic]; a great captain, eloquent, a great man of state, he revived his fatherland and created a new people and a new power in the middle of Arabia.

Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it.
