Another mode of accumulating power arises from lifting a weight and then allowing it to fall.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A raised weight can produce work, but in doing so it must necessarily sink from its height, and, when it has fallen as deep as it can fall, its gravity remains as before, but it can no longer do work.
Power gravitates to the man who knows how.
Weight, force and casual impulse, together with resistance, are the four external powers in which all the visible actions of mortals have their being and their end.
Like most animals, we're wired to associate height with power.
Power is power. It's energy. And if you get big, big energy, you can use that in a good way.
Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through mesh.
Power is the ability to get things done.
Not my power, but the power of the position, a power which could be used to help.
Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.
There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.
