Power over others is weakness disguised as strength.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some folks hesitate to seize additional strength because they think it wrong or dangerous to be a powerful individual. Somehow they have acquired the false notion that tyranny or dictatorship or cruelty are the outcomes of a powerful personality. These characteristics are not power. They are weaknesses disguised as power.
I believe in the power of weakness.
Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.
Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.
Strength alone knows conflict, weakness is born vanquished.
The concept of power we admire is power over someone else.
All too often arrogance accompanies strength, and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of power must always be accompanied by moral choice.
The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.
Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg.
