Hi Joey - it is great that you have found your own quotes on power as I know you are the quote master. I like the last one especially as it is true, when we have courage and we really try at something, things become easier. It is when we believe we can do something that we actually can - just like in the Blue Eyes Brown Eyes video.
1. Bruce Lee : "Knowledge will give you power, but character respect" Knowledge will give you a upper hand therefore giving you power, but if you have a good character you'll be respected. 2 Francis Bacon : "Knowledge is power" more you know more powerful you are. 3:Robert A. Heinlein " Never underestimate the power of human stupidity" Us humans use power for bad instead of good"
So I see that you found your own quotes as well - and Bruce Lee no less! I like his quote that you have to be a good person to get respect which really gives you power as well.
1. "The day the power of love overrules the love of power the world will know peace."-Mahatma Gandhi
-It's so true and inspiring me that try not to overrule others by power, but try to love others.
2. Reconigizing power in another does not diminish your own"-Joss Whedon
-Always people get scared of lost power to ruleover or be proud of others but, this quotes tell me don't be afraid to loss your power or something proud of, because everyone in Earth has power and it doesn't detroys your own power.
3. "I do not wish them (women) to have power over men, but over themselves."-Mary Wollstonecraft, A vindication of the Right of women
_ I love this quotes becaue this means to control yourself but not to over rules others.
Thanks for your post Hayoung, I enjoyed reading your choices. You are right that people get scared of seeing power in others as they believe they won't be as powerful. It's a strange game of power play.
1. "names have power." -names as in bullying because when you call someone names it can hurt them and make them fell bad 2. "recognizing power in another does not diminish your own" -because doesn't mean someone has a different power than you doesn't mean you have to throw away yours 3. "power resides only where men believe it resides. A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow" -i like this because just because your small doesn't mean you don't have power
that's right Steph, everyone has power - and sometimes people only have power because people THINK they do - if people stopped thinking that some people have power then they would lose it.
1. Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. -this means that if you have more power it is easy to find out who you really are which is what i like to see happen. 2.Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. -basically means, with great knowledge comes with great responsibility. i like it 3.What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do. - I like this one cause it basically says that you should use your power for good not bad
1. "nearly all men can stand adversity,but if you want to test a man's character,give him power." Reason:i like this quote because it shows that power can change your characteristics and your behavior.
2."recognizing power doesn't diminish your own" Reason:i like this quote because it shows that other power doesn't destroy your own.
3."names have power" Reason:be cause its true names have power like presidents or goverment
1 names have power because its like when you call some one the boss that name has power in it 2 knowledge is power the power to do good and the power to do evil. this means if your smarter then someone you have power over them but its the way you use the power to do good or evil. 3 I do not wish them ( woman ) to have power over man; but over themselves. this means that the man don't what woman to have power over them but gust to have power over themselves
"Nearly all the man can stand for adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him a power" It's true because if we get the power, maybe we will use power just for ourselves. Also, when Jane Elliot told her students that blue eyes are better than brown ones for experiment, those with blue eyes thought they were superior to those with brown eyes and bullied them without any shame.
