History is full of incredible figures who have shaped the world in amazing ways, and often in ways we can still learn from today. From civilizations to empires, to wars and revolutions, history offers us a glimpse into how others have exercised great power and used it wisely. While much of what we see in history books is made up and created for propaganda purposes, these quotes help us learn from their mistakes to make sure we do things differently when we come across similar situations ourselves. These quotes about power will give you an insight into how great men and women have used their influence for good and bad throughout history.
Shepherds use religion to fight wars, sheep fight over religion.Piet Hein Wokke
People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.Milan Kundera
