Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true but they can also lie and make their lies come true.

Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.

If those in charge of our society - politicians corporate executives and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.

In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.

Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit.

Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.

All gods are homemade and it is we who pull their strings and so give them the power to pull ours.

The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.
