I repeat... that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All political power is a trust.
All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.
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.
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
I look at power as the ability to get people motivated and to get them to do things that maybe they don't think are important but, in the end, are in pursuit of something greater than themselves.
We simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it.
I think every individual has his or her own power, and it's a matter of working, taking time and defining what that power is.
I truly believe that we have infinite levels of power that we don't even know are available to us.
You can't trust anybody with power.
Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
