The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.

What people do for the struggle of power is madness.

To me, power is making things happen without asking for permission. It's affecting the way people perceive themselves and the world around them. It's making people stand up with pride.

I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.

There's all these people who are incredibly vulnerable and would honestly do anything you say. That's a crazy feeling. Nobody should be given the power that we're [celebs] given.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
