All of Robert Caro's biographies are exceptional, in part because of Caro's fundamental ambivalence about power. He sees its necessity and use for getting things done, even as he is often repelled by watching power at close range.

Jeffrey Pfeffer

One cannot control the actions of others, but we are responsible for what we do.

So get over yourself, and do what you need to do - and what, by the way, others around you are doing, to become more powerful.

Jeffrey Pfeffer
