my favorites phrases

I have been looking for the most popular phrases about power. These are my favorites:

Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power. (Lao Tzu)

Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality. (Edgar Allan Poe)

The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself. (Winston Churchill)

Power is of two kinds. one is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment. (Mohandas Gandhi)

And my favorite one is: It is more agreeable to have power to give than receive. ( Winston Churchill)
