The measure of a man is what he does with power.

About This Quote

The measure of a man is what he does with power. If a man can control his wealth and power through patience, justice, integrity and respect for the world around him, then he has reached a higher understanding of the law of attraction. This quote is a reminder that we all have the same opportunities in life, but not everyone is using them to their fullest potential. If we can hold on to our power and use it for the greater good of the world, then we will be great men and women of character.
