Famous quotes containing the words power and/or root:

    “Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
    Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
    That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
    And, ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
    The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
    So quick bright things come to confusion.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The love of money is the root of all evil.”
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Timothy, 6:10.
