The most disastrous phenomenon of the current situation is the factor that imperialism is employing for its own ends all the powers of the proletariat all of its institutions and weapons which its fighting vanguard has created for its war of liberation.
Black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war.
But do I think that our actions in anyway violate the War Powers Resolution the answer is no.
The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers but by preconceived opinion by prejudice.
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
You desire that which exceeds my humble powers but I trust in the compassion and mercy of the All-powerful God.
I have a vision that's about technology that empowers consumers over institutions.
The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before and so in a sense it is all about potential.
The way the world is going it's technology driven. And it isn't just driven by the old super powers it's driven by the far east and new emerging economies.
Which European leader today would not relish the wonder-working powers of a Moses? Budget deficit? Unpopular cuts? How about just a little miracle an overnight increase in gold reserves a new oil field or the next world-changing communications technology? Surely that's not too much to ask.
Our technological powers increase but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate.
This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work - they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night perhaps.
The colour of the skin is in no way connected with strength of the mind or intellectual powers.
Because your own strength is unequal to the task do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man but if anything is within the powers and province of man believe that it is within your own compass also.
Society has to change but the political powers we have at the moment are not enough to effect this change. The whole democratic system would have to be rethought.
I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.
In the last fifty years science has advanced more than in the 2 000 previous years and given mankind greater powers over the forces of nature than the ancients ascribed to their gods.
Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.
Awaken its powers and it will respect itself.
We never respect those who amuse us however we may smile at their comic powers.
Shooting a film is like a kismet quest. You have thirty days and you need magic to happen. So that's why I wear suits. I'm praying to the gods and I'm doing everything I can to respect the powers of the world.
If a person studies too much and exhausts his reflective powers he will be confused and will not be able to apprehend even that which had been within the power of his apprehension. For the powers of the body are all alike in this respect.
The increase of territory and power of empires by force of arms has been the policy of all great powers and it has always been possible to get the approval of their state religion.
The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.
