Quotes about power
powerful children wish
As a kitten does what all other kittens do, so a child wants to do what other children do, with a wanting that is as powerful as it is mindless.

power achievement growth
The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.
powerful organization here-and-there
They act as they please: here and there, they use force against sovereign states, building coalitions based on the principle 'If you are not with us, you are against us.'

Vladimir Putin
powerful military home
NATO remains a military alliance, and we are against having a military alliance making itself at home right in our own backyard; in our historic territory.

powerful believe russia
I believe that the Europeans, first and foremost, the Germans, will also understand me. Let me remind you that in the course of political consultations on the unification of East and West Germany... some nations that were then and are now Germany's allies did not support the idea of unification. Our nation, however, unequivocally supported the sincere, unstoppable desire of the Germans for national unity. I am confident that you have not forgotten this, and I expect that the citizens of Germany will also support the aspiration of the Russians, of historical Russia, to restore unity.
powerful threatening-us mind
Some Western politicians are already threatening us with not just sanctions, but also the prospect of increasingly serious problems on the domestic front.

We consider such statements irresponsible and clearly aggressive in tone, and we will respond to them accordingly.

powerful independent ukraine
They are constantly trying to drive us into a corner because we have an independent position, because we maintain it and because we tell it like it is and don't engage in hypocrisy. But there is a limit to everything. And with Ukraine, our Western partners have crossed the line, playing the bear and acting irresponsibly and unprofessionally.
