More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Of all insults, the temporary condescension of a master to a slave is the most outrageous and galling. that potentate who most condescends, mark him well; for that potentate, if occasion come, will prove your uttermost tyrant.
Tyrants Insult Slave
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Love Is Opposites Justice

Faustus. had i as many souls as there be stars, i'd give them all for mephistophilis. by him i'll be great emperor of the world, and make a bridge thorough the moving air, to pass the ocean with a band of men; i'll join the hills that bind the afric shore, and make that country continent to spain, and both contributory to my crown: the emperor shall not live but by my leave, nor any potentate of germany. now that i have obtain'd what i desir'd, i'll live in speculation of this art, till mephistophilis return again.

Man is so great that his greatness appears even in the consciousness of his misery. a tree does not know itself to be miserable. it is true that it is misery indeed to know one's self to be miserable; but then it is greatness also. in this way, all man's miseries go to prove his greatness. they are the miseries of a mighty potentate, of a dethroned monarch.

The manly pride of the romans, content with substantial power, had left to the vanity of the east the forms and ceremonies of ostentatious greatness. but when they lost even the semblance of those virtues which were derived from their ancient freedom, the simplicity of roman manners was insensibly corrupted by the stately affectation of the courts of asia.
