Power Driven Vessel

Famous quotes containing the words power, driven and/or vessel:

    The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples’ characters: he cares much—everything—for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    It seems
    you that is lifted
    limp and ardent
    off the dark snow
    and shoved in, and driven away.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    It is plain that there is no separate essence called courage, no cup or cell in the brain, no vessel in the heart containing drops or atoms that make or give this virtue; but it is the right or healthy state of every man, when he is free to do that which is constitutional to him to do.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
