Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Men want power in order to do something. Boys want power in order to be something.
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.
'Power' is an explosive word, particularly when applied to women.
I hate to say there are female and male ways of dealing with power, because I think each of us has a male and a female part. But based on my own experience, women will tend to be inclusive, to reach out more, to care a little more.
Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
Power is the chance to impose your will within a social context, even when opposed and regardless of the integrity of that chance.
Power doesn't have to be on such a big scale for powerful things to occur. Within your own home, you can be a powerful woman as a mother, influencing your children's lives.
But the one thing that has power completely is love, because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.
The thing women must do to rise to power is to redefine their femininity. Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact, power has no sex.
