People have to be armed to have power, you see.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
People have a right to be able to bear arms.
All dictators, the rich and famous, to the lowest security guard who holds a gun, easily forget that power is transitory.
Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
The way to have power is to take it.
Power is, in its nature, encroaching; and such is the human make that men who are vested with a share of it are generally inclined to take more than it was intended they should have.
People desire power. I don't know why they want it so. It seems to me it implies a hugely superior intellect which separates them from most of the populace.
The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few, and powerlessness in the hands of so many.
