Famous quotes containing the word power:

    The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    The power of the past does not depend on our knowledge of it.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.”
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)
