Potent

Famous quotes containing the word potent:

    No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!

    What potent blood hath modest May;
    What fiery force the earth renews,
    The wealth of forms, the flush of hues;
    Joy shed in rosy waves abroad
    Flows from the heart of Love, the Lord.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Thinking about suicide is a potent consolation: it helps us to get through many a bad night.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
