Quotes on using power for good

These quotes emphasize that true strength, power, and greatness lie in using one's abilities to uplift and serve others, rather than for personal glory.

⊙ Quote of the Day: Using Strength for Greatness

Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. 

He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.

- Henry Ward Beecher -

This quote by Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent 19th-century American minister and social reformer, describes true strength. Beecher says that strength is not just about physical power, but how you use that power. He says that strength is truly valuable when it is used to lift others up and help them, not for personal glory. A truly great person is one who uses their strength to uplift others.
