In this world no one rules by love; if you are but amiable, you are no hero; to be powerful, you must be strong, and to have dominion you must have a genius for organizing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness.
Goodness, armed with power, is corrupted; and pure love without power is destroyed.
Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Love begets love, love knows no rules, this is same for all.
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.
Love conquers all difficulties, surmounts all obstacles, and effects what to any other power would be impossible.
Obedience keeps the rules. Love knows when to break them.
If you could only love enough, you could be the most powerful person in the world.
You can't rule the world, but what you can do is win the world with love and understanding.
