Famous quotes containing the words power and/or born:
“Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many.... The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”
