“Master of the universe but not of myself, I am the only rebel against my absolute power.”– Pierre Corneille Related Quotes “Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.”– Philip Zimbardo “More than ever before, consumers have the ability to unify their voices and coalesce their buying power to influence corporate behaviors.”– Simon Mainwaring “When a man may whisper in a close ear, and that whisper be repeated far away and many moons later, then he has power. When a many may speak against another, and that other be brought to ruin and rue by nothing more than those words, then he has power. And if a man can act without the appearance of action, and bring about great change without the appearance of desiring it, then he has power.”— Brian Ruckley
