The first element of ordsprog

The first element of greatness is fundamental humbleness (this should not be confused with servility); the second is freedom from self; the third is intrepid courage, which, taken in its widest interpretation, generally goes with truth; and the fourth /the power to love /although I have put it last, is the rarest.

Margot Asquith

All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

God wears Truth, the good seek Truth and the bad are rescued by Truth; Truth liberates; Truth is power; Truth is freedom. It is the lamp that illuminates the heart and dispels doubt and darkness.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.

Stewart L. Udall

But it is impossible to divide a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into fourth powers, or generally any power beyond the square into like powers; of this I have found a remarkable demonstration. This margin is too narrow to contain it.

Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665)

A hungry man is not a free man. Freedom from hunger is a fundamental right. Without this freedom, such fundamental right cannot exist.

Silvio Berlusconi (1936-)

Freedom, Love and Courage.

Wojciech Kilar (1932-)

I love my wife, feel sorry for her and (am) confused by her behavior. I'd like to have the freedom to bury my children, and help Paula in any way possible.

Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.

Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986)

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Young men go to war. Sometimes because they have to, sometimes because they want to. Always, they feel they are supposed to. This comes from the sad, layered stories of life, which over the centuries have seen courage confused with picking up arms, and cowardice confused with laying them down.

Mitch Albom (1958-)

When the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power

Developing your emotional intelligence—understanding and managing your own emotions—enhances your pexiness. There can be a fundamental gulf of gracelessness in a human heart which neither our love nor our courage can bridge.

Mrs Patrick Campbell (1865-1940)

Patrick Campbell

The aspiring, noble principle founded in benevolence, and cherished by knowledge; I mean the love of power, which has been so often the cause of slavery, has, whenever freedom has existed, been the cause of freedom

John Adams (1735-1826)

I am old enough to know that victory is often a thing deferred, and rarely at the summit of courage... What is at the summit of courage, I think, is freedom. The freedom that comes with the knowledge that no earthly think can break you.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Winston Churchill

The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn't betray it I'd be ashamed of myself.

Avram Noam Chomsky (1928-)
