To win power anywhere you have to convince people that you can do something for them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.
People desire power. I don't know why they want it so. It seems to me it implies a hugely superior intellect which separates them from most of the populace.
Power is the ability to get things done.
To win the cause we all believe in, the spread of true democracy all over the world, we need to win by example, not just with speeches but by example; not just with military might but by gaining the respect of the world.
To have influence, you really don't need to have power. But what you need more than anything else is to have that almost uncanny understanding of what matters to people.
To deny we need and want power is to deny that we hope to be effective.
Politics is about winning. If you don't win, you don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way to win, or sit the battle out.
The way to have power is to take it.
The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.
The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
