What Gives People Feelings of Power

 

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant."
John Stuart Mill

Erich Fromm (1900 - 1980)

The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind - not the fiend or the sadist.
Erich Fromm
