Nothing is more gratifying to the mind of man than power or dominion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Power is not alluring to pure minds.
However muted its present appearance may be, sexual dominion obtains nevertheless as perhaps the most pervasive ideology of our culture and provides its most fundamental concept of power.
Desire creates the power.
You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.
But constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go.
The concept of power we admire is power over someone else.
The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.
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.
But I believe we have a higher level of mentality within us, but we have to use the power in the right way.
I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.
