Human Powers Quotes

The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility. Vaclav Havel
Everything teaches transition, transference, metamorphosis: therein is human power, in transference, not in creation; & therein is human destiny, not in longevity but in removal. We dive & reappear in new places. Ralph Waldo Emerson
R. Buckminster Fuller quote: "Dear reader, traditional human power structures and their..."
Dear reader, traditional human power structures and their reign of darkness are about to be rendered obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller
I have never thought, for my part, that man's freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family, and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give. Thomas Jefferson
The dove descending breaks the air. With flame of incandescent terror. Of which the tongues declare. The one discharge from sin and error. The only hope, or else despair. Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre-To be redeemed from fire by fire. Who then devised the torment? Love. Love is the unfamiliar Name. Behind the hands that wove. The intolerable shirt of flame. Which human power cannot remove. We only live, only suspire. Consumed by either fire or fire. T. S. Eliot
My child, the troubles and temptations of your life are beginning, and may be many; but you can overcome and outlive them all if you learn to feel the strength and tenderness of your Heavenly Father as you do that of your earthly one. The more you love and trust Him, the nearer you will feel to Him, and the less you will depend on human power and wisdom. His love and care never tire or change, can never be taken from you, but may become the source of lifelong peace, happiness, and strength.... Louisa May Alcott
The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians. Angelina Grimke
Until relatively recently, law enforcement's ability to determine an individual's location and track their movements was largely limited to natural human powers of observation. Ron Wyden
Henry Clay quote: "Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none..."
Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition. Henry Clay
Horace Mann quote: "Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power."
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power. Horace Mann
Samuel Johnson quote: "Everything that enlarges the sphere of human powers, that..."
Everything that enlarges the sphere of human powers, that shows man he can do what he thought he could not do, is valuable. Samuel Johnson
Francis Bacon quote: "Knowledge and human power are synonymous."
Knowledge and human power are synonymous. Francis Bacon
Human beings -- human children especially -- seldom deny themselves the pleasure of exercising a power which they are conscious of possessing, even though that power consist only in a capacity to make others wretched Charlotte Bronte
Power is a poison well known for thousands of years. If only no one were ever to acquire material power over others! But to the human being who has faith in some force that holds dominion over all of us, and who is therefore conscious of his own limitations, power is not necessarily fatal. For those, however, who are unaware of any higher sphere, it is a deadly poison. For them there is no antidote. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
