I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The unlimited power that many modern gurus offer is false hope. Their programs calling us to unlimited power have made them rich, not us. They touch our false selves and tap our toxic shame.
Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.
Almost all people have this potential for evil, which would be unleashed only under certain dangerous social circumstances.
Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few, and powerlessness in the hands of so many.
Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who posses it; and this I know, my lords: that where law ends, tyranny begins.
The thing that always strikes me is how much power one person has. Everybody has so much power to help and to change if they just exercise it and get after it.
In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
Power is dangerous unless you have humility.
