To exercise power costs ordsprog

en To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -- because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
  Friedrich Nietzsche

en The President can exercise no power which cannot be fairly and reasonably traced to some specific grant of power . . . in the Federal Constitution or in an act of Congress passed in pursuance thereof. There is no undefined residuum of power which he can exercise because it seems to him to be in the public interest.
  William Howard Taft

en I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them ''You are supreme: exercise your power'.' They say, ''That's right: tell us what to do';' and I tell them. I say ''Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me'.' And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.
  George Bernard Shaw

Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Jag känner igen två sorters tro. Den första är den som är uppenbar i världen. Det är den gemensamma nämnaren för det mesta som händer. Det är det som låter oss existera. Det är det som ger oss något hopp om att få något gjort. Alla har det, vissa i större mått än andra. Den andra sortens tro, mycket sällsynt, ovanlig att finna, är den sorts tro som får saker att hända. Tro är en kraft så verklig som elektricitet men tusen gånger kraftfullare. Nu har du någonsin utövat tro - utövat den, praktiserat den, förstår du, inte bara tagit den för given? När du ser på dig själv, fråga dig hur trogen är du? Det är en första princip i evangeliet enligt Herren. Är det en första princip i evangeliet enligt dig?
en I recognize two kinds of faith. The first is the kind which is apparent in the world. It is the common denominator of most everything that goes on. It is the thing that lets us exist. It is the thing that gives us some hope of getting anything done. Everyone has it, some in a larger measure than others. The second kind of faith, remarkably rare, unusual to find, is the kind of faith that causes things to happen. Faith is a power as real as electricity except a thousand times more powerful. Now did you ever exercise faith--exercise it, practice it, you see, not just take it for granted? When you look at yourself, ask yourself how faithful are you? It is a first principle of the gospel according to the Lord. Is it a first principle of the gospel according to you?

en We are in the process of doing everything within our power to get resources down to the state of Florida, ... everybody's patience and forbearance.

en It's not going to exercise that power for now, but it has expressly reserved this momentous power for the future.

en The power rests with the multitude, but let them beware how the exercise of it turns against their own rights! It is not the idol but the worshippers that are to be dreaded, and who, by degrading one of their fellows, render themselves liable to be branded with the same indignities.
  William Hazlitt

en At the heart of the controversy in these cases are those recurring pregnancies that pose no danger whatsoever to the life or health of the mother but are, nevertheless, unwanted for any one or more of a variety of reasons — convenience, family planning, economics, dislike of children, the embarrassment of illegitimacy, etc. ... I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. ... As an exercise of raw judicial power, the Court perhaps has authority to do what it does today; but, in my view, its judgment is an improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review that the Constitution extends to this Court.
  Byron R. White

en There must be another way to do it. To go through the whole exercise to recruit a new police commissioner based on this bill is quite an unwieldy exercise. Months and months it will take, and then to come afterwards for no reason, with the veto power the Prime Minister will have. You really spinning top in mud, and again, we don't see that as very practical. The politics getting into the police service is not right.
