On which day was its apparent power the greater? On which day was its real power the less? Nominally subject, it was able to defy the sovereign. Nominally sovereign, it was turned out of doors by its servant. Constitutions are in politics what paper money is in commerce. They afford great facilities and conveniences. But we must not attribute to them that value which really belongs to what they represent. They are not power, but symbols of power, and will, in an emergency, prove altogether useless unless the power for which they stand be forthcoming.英文原著 · 《The Miscellaneous Writings and Speeches-2》
He rises higher than the obstacle and sweeps over it on south. Over the great power dam at Keokuk sweeps the Mississippi. And then you see the struggle of overcoming the obstacle develops light and power to vitalize the valley. A hundred towns and cities radiate the light and power from the struggle. The great city of St. Louis, many miles away, throbs with the victory. So that is why they spent the millions to build the obstacle--to get the light and the power. The light and the power were latent in the river, but it took the obstacle and the overcoming to develop it and make it useful.英文原著 · 《The University of Hard Knocks》
But does he do what he wills if he does what is evil? Why do you not answer? Well, I suppose not. Then if great power is a good as you allow, will such a one have great power in a state? He will not. Then I was right in saying that a man may do what seems good to him in a state, and not have great power, and not do what he wills? As though you, Socrates, would not like to have the power of doing what seemed good to you in the state, rather than not; you would not be jealous when you saw any one killing or despoiling or imprisoning whom he pleased, Oh, no! Justly or unjustly, do you mean?英文原著 · 《Gorgias》
"'You can be invincible if you enter into no contest in which it is not in your power to conquer. Take care, then, when you observe a man honoured before others or possessed of great power, or highly esteemed for any reason, not to suppose him happy and be not carried away by the appearance. For if the nature of the good is in our power, neither envy nor jealousy will have a place in us. But you yourself will not wish to be a general or a senator or consul, but a free man, and there is only one way to do this, to care not for the things which are not in our power.'"英文原著 · 《The Friendly Road》
Transparent bodies differ in their power of bending light-- as a general rule, the refractive power is proportioned to the density--but the chemical constitution of bodies as well as their density, is found to effect their refracting power. Inflamable bodies possess this power to a great degree.英文原著 · 《The History and Practice of the Art of Photography》
