Those who desire power...
 

...don't deserve it. Who said this?

I dont know but i have a feeling the saying May come in handy SOON !!

I thought it was "Those who desire power must be kept from attaining it."

Still dunno who said it though.

Buddha

Ha!

Once again Poetry has the Anwer:


Ozymandias -


I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".

If you were to summarize Jefferson's thought you could get to that but, I don't think he actually said it. I found this one though: "An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens."

I saw it recently on the cookies!

It's a cookie! :cookiemonster:

I'm more awed by this cookie:

It's the raisins that make Post Raisin Bran so raisiny.

Indeed, indeed.

(I prefer Kellogs, but hey, that's just me.)

I said buddha last night while I was drinkin
But now that I'm sober ive been thinkin
Maybe I was wrong...was it Lincoln?

Tonight when I'm drinkin
I'll try to start thinkin
About who wrote that stinkin
Quote

Those who desire power...are doomed to repeat it?

Power is as power does?
