ON POWER

O! it is excellent
To have a giant’s strength;
But it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant.
--WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564–1616)

A giant feels the sting of a bee.
--BEN SOLOMON IMMANUEL OF ROME (C. 1270-C. 1330)

Authority intoxicates,
And makes mere sots of magistrates;
The fumes of it invade the brain,
And make men giddy, proud, and vain.
--SAMUEL BUTLER (1612–1680)

In order to obtain and hold power a man must love it. Thus the effort to get it is not likely to be coupled with goodness, but with the opposite qualities of pride, craft, and cruelty.
--LEO TOLSTOY (1828–1910)

ON RESPECT

He removes the greatest ornament of friendship who takes away from it respect.
--CICERO (106–43 B.C.)

Respect is love in plain clothes.
--FRANKIE BYRNE

Respect is what we owe; love is what we give.
--PHILIP JAMES BAILEY (1816–1902)

ON TRUE POWER, FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT

Luke 14:10 (Message Bible)
"When you're invited to dinner, go and sit at the last place. Then when the host comes he may very well say, 'Friend, come up to the front.' That will give the dinner guests something to talk about!

Romans 12:10 (MsgB)
Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.

Philip. 2:3 (MsgB)
Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead.

1 Peter 2:17 (MsgB)
Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government.
