When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us.

Alan Watts

I define power as control over ones life. A balanced life is far superior to the male definition of power: earning money someone else spends while he dies sooner.

Warren Farrell

I define power as 'control over one's life.' A balanced life is far superior to the male definition of power: earning money someone else spends while he dies sooner.

Warren Farrell

Words have power. The power to soothe. The power to skewer someone through the heart. The power to render someone speechless.

Ellen Hopkins

We don't want to give the controls to someone else; we want those reins ourselves. We want to get our way. And we get upset when things don't work out. . . . When we try to control someone else or events beyond the scope of our power, we lose. When we learn to discern the difference between what we can change and what we can't, we usually have an easier time expressing our power in our lives. Because we're not wasting all our energy using our power to change things we can't, we have a lot of energy left over to live our lives.

Melody Beattie

It seems to me that whereas power usually means power-over, the power of some person or group over some other person or group, it is possible to develop the conception of power-with, a jointly developed power, a co-active, not a coercive power.

Mary Parker Follett

We all have the power, intuition, and ability to think and act for ourselves until we give that power away. We give our power away because we're bullied into thinking we aren't good enough and someone else must know better than us; therefore, we should give over our instincts and act according to instruction.

Tara Stiles

In the late '60s, people were saying we need power to, not power over. Power to do, accomplish, create, not power over other people.

Gloria Steinem

Why should I give someone else such power over my life?

Benjamin Carson

Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.

Oprah Winfrey

The power you have over someone who loves you is greater than any other power you'll ever have.

Paullina Simons

Power is just so much part of the human being because power is survival. But I wonder if that is the best way to survive, by killing someone else.

Laura Huxley

I know some photographs that are extraodrinary in their power and conviction, but it is difficult in photography to overcome the superficial power or subject; the concept and statement must be quite convincing in themselves to win over a dramatic and compelling subject situation.

Ansel Adams

The real power, the power we have to fight for night and day, is not power over things, but over men

George Orwell

There are two kinds of power. One is power over, which is always destructive, and the other is power from within, which is a transcendent and creative power.

Starhawk

Power over must be replaced by shared power, by the power to do things, by the discovery of our own strength as opposed to a passive receiving of power exercised by others, often in our name.

Petra Kelly
