A strength to harm is perilous in the hand of an ambitious head.

I don't really know how strong someone is if they're compelled to a life of violence. Is that strong? No. That's damaged.
There's so much more danger in someone where you really don't know what they're going to do, and you don't know what they're really capable of, rather than someone who's trying to be physically tough.
That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary.
When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
It is not the strong who are dangerous to the world and to themselves. It is the weak and the inadequate who threaten - and sometimes destroy - mankind's peace and prosperity.

Some folks hesitate to seize additional strength because they think it wrong or dangerous to be a powerful individual.

They are weaknesses disguised as power.
Power is dangerous unless you have humility.
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
