Power Programme

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or programme:

    My most desire my hand may reach,
    My will is alway at my hand;
    Me need not long for to beseech
    Her that hath power me to command.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
