We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.

There is something powerful in the whispering of obscenities, about those in power. There's something delightful about it, something naughty, secretive, forbidden, thrilling. It's like a spell, of sorts. It deflates them, reduces them to the common denominator where they can be dealt with.

It's hard to put into words, shaking hands with the most powerful man in the world.

O powerful love,that in some respects makes a beast a man,in some other, a man a beast.

Stories are the single most powerful tool in a leader's toolkit.

Johnson had been the most powerful man in the world, yet the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong had resisted, overcome his power, broken his will.
