"Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds. The most powerful ones are those we can't even describe, aren't even aware of."	Ellen Goodman
"Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb."	Nadine Gordimer
"If you tell the truth, you have infinite power supporting you; but if not, you have infinite power against you."	Charles Gordon
"The true beauty of nature is her amplitude; she exists neither for nor because of us, and possesses a staying power that all our nuclear arsenals cannot threaten (much as we can easily destroy our puny selves)."	Stephen Jay Gould
"Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself."	Baltasar Gracian
"Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact, power has no sex."	Katherine Graham
"It is suggested that, in [domestic violence] at least, the presence or absence of a firearm, or of any other type of weapon, is of far less importance to the outcome than the passion generated in the attacker. The man who has lost control will cause serious injuries in many cases, quite irrespective of the weapon he uses and regardless of the certainty of detection and punishment."	Colin Greenwood
"No matter how one approaches the figures, one is forced to the rather startling conclusion that the use of firearms in crime was very much less when there were no controls of any sort and when anyone, convicted criminal or lunatic, could buy any type of firearm without restriction. Half a century of strict controls on pistols has ended, perversely, with a far greater use of this weapon in crime than ever before."	Colin Greenwood
"Energy is the power that drives every human being. It is not lost by exertion by maintained by it."	Germaine Greer
"The will to believe is perhaps the most powerful, but certainly the most dangerous human attribute."	John P. Grier
"Keep controlling morality of others. Yours will be automatically taken care of."	B. J. Gupta
"Creation and redemption are the spheres in which these glories are displayed. In creation we see the eternal power and deity that belong to God alone (Rom. 1:20); while a deeper and richer glory is unfolded in the wondrous cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. There God is fully revealed, not only in terms of His dominion and deity, but in His holiness, love, and grace. At the Cross I learn what creation could never tell me--who God is and what He is to me, a guilty sinner. God is love; therefore, He is both light and life. A Savior-God! What marvelous grace and glory."	William Hallman
"In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself."	Alexander Hamilton
"Power may be justly compared to a great river; while kept within its bounds it is both beautiful and useful, but when it overflows its banks, it is then too impetuous to be stemmed; it bears down all before it, and brings destruction and desolation wherever it goes."	Alexander Hamilton
"If I ever opened a trampoline store, I don't think I'd call it Trampo-Land, because you might think it was a store for tramps, which is not the impression we are trying to convey with our store. On the other hand, we would not prohibit tramps from browsing, or testing the trampolines, unless a tramp's gyrations seemed to be getting out of control."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"I guess I kinda lost control, because in the middle of the play I ran up and lit the evil puppet villain on fire. No, I didn't. Just kidding. I just said that to illustrate one of the human emotions, which is freaking out. Another emotion is greed, as when someone kills someone for money, or something like that. Another emotion is generosity, as when you pay someone double what he paid for his stupid puppet."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"In weightlifting, I don't think sudden, uncontrolled urination should automatically disqualify you."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"Did is a word of achievement Won't is a word of defeat Might is a word of bereavement Can't is a word of defeat Ought is a word of duty Try is a word each hour Will is a word of beauty Can is a word of power."	Gerard Hargraves
"There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power."	William Henry Harrison
"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for .success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good."	Václav Havel
