"Our sense of power is more vivid when we break a man's spirit than when we win his heart."

Power

"Charlatanism of some degree is indispensable to effective leadership."

Leadership

"Even the sober desire for progress is sustained by faith-faith in the intrinsic goodness of human nature and in the omnipotence of science. It is a defiant and blasphemous faith, not unlike that held by the men who set out to build a "city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven" and who believed that "nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

Society

"Craving, not having, is the mother of a reckless giving of oneself."

Family

"It is the individual only who is timeless. Societies, cultures, and civilizations -- past and present -- are often incomprehensible to outsiders, but the individual's hungers, anxieties, dreams, and preoccupations have remained unchanged through the millenia."

Philosophy

"Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith."

Faith

"It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak."
