Without the potatoe, the balance of European power might never have tilted north

Michael Pollan

There are Harvey Weinsteins in all walks of life, and especially in the entertainment industry where the power balance is tilted in favour of men.

Shenaz Treasury

The Anglo-Americans want the balance of power in Eurasia. The only balance of power they can achieve now is the whole of Europe against Russia. The only choice for us is either to join this Western European bloc or join in with Russia.

Werner Heisenberg

Iran has, by virtue of its growth and by virtue of the United States' mistakes in Iraq, tilted the balance of power in the Middle East. That is the case, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is a threat.

Trita Parsi

With the rise of America, the global balance of power shifted away from the old European powers.

Armstrong Williams

I don't believe, in the 21st century, in the balance of power system. This is a European idea of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Joschka Fischer

I didn't leave home until 27. I was an only child raised in Philadelphia by my mother and grandmother. My grandmother controlled the stove. She made a lot of potato meals - mashed potato, potato souffle, potato pancakes. When we didn't have electricity we ate romantically, by candlelight.

Jill Scott

Degree is much: the whole Atlantic might be lukewarm and never boil us a potato.

George Iles

Power doesn't make you happy. Actually, power without knowledge and balance is problematic. Power is something that will automatically follow when you have knowledge. The two are really the same, in a certain sense.

Frederick Lenz

For they (capitalists) hold as their chief heresy, in a coarser form, the fundamental falsehood that things are not made to be used but made to be sold. All the collapse of their commercial system in their own time has been due to that fallacy of forcing things on a market where there was no market; of continually increasing the power of supply without increasing the power of demand; of briefly, of always considering the man who sells the potato and never considering the man who eats it.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Without balance and wisdom, power becomes very destructive. It creates unhappiness and not happiness. To simply see a teacher to gain power is a mistake.

Frederick Lenz

In North Korea I thought a frozen potato was the fanciest food in the world.

Park Yeon-mi

When you play at home in European football, you've got to come up with a happy balance where you get on the front foot and try to win it without leaving yourself vulnerable.

Graeme Souness

The person who takes power will never be happy with those things they gain. They have lost their essential balance and innocence. And without innocence, nothing can further, as they say in the I Ching.

Frederick Lenz

We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it--to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.

Lyndon B. Johnson
