Henry Ford on Success: Why Persistence Is the Real Key to Triumph!
“More men are beaten than fail. It is not wisdom they need or money, or brilliance, or “pull,” but just plain gristle and bone. This rude, simple, primitive power which we call “stick-to-it-iveness” is the uncrowned king of the world of endeavour. People are utterly wrong in their slant upon things. They see the successes that men have made and somehow they appear to be easy. But that is a world away from the facts. It is failure that is easy. Success is always hard. A man can fail in ease; he can succeed only by paying out all that he has and is.”
Henry Ford

Two Forms of Power by Gerald Hüther
“There are, after all, two ways of exercising power, so to speak. One is the old way, the one we all know: oppression.
We saw that under Stalinism and the like.
And then, here in the West, I’ve come to know another form that I hadn’t really thought about before.
That is seduction.
Seduction is something truly insidious. Because at least you can defend yourself against paternalism and tyranny.
Then you remain a subject.
It may crush you; it may kill you. You may have to spend your whole life under terrible conditions.
But you remain a subject. You can say: “I am, here I stand, I cannot do otherwise.”
Someone who has been seduced stands there and has no idea where they are.
They protect their seducers.
“Oh, then we can’t take our next vacation on a cruise ship after all. And how are we supposed to manage now that gas keeps getting more expensive?”—that’s how the demands of the seduced person come across.
And someone like that will, of course, always contribute to maintaining the system of seduction.
And that’s why turning people into the seduced is a much surer way of securing power than oppressing them.
The Church, by the way, knew this all along.”
Gerald Hüther
Power and Responsibility – Quote by Harry Edson Browne
“You can’t give the government the power to do good without also giving it the power to do bad – in fact, to do anything it wants.”
