"Power is the faculty or capacity to..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?”

“Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.”

“Syllables govern the world.”

“The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.”

“Another way of verbally masking elite preemption of other people's decisions is to use the word 'ask'-as in 'We are just asking everyone to pay their fair share.' But of course governments do not ask, they: tell. The Internal Revenue Service does not 'ask' for contributions. It takes.”

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.”

“People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it.”

“Not to be cowardly when it comes to our own actions! Not to leave them in the lurch!--The sting of conscience is indecent.”

“In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.”
