Power vs Authority

This has been mouldering in the back files long enough that I don’t recall where I got it.  Don’t know if it’s an original thought or something I heard or read.  STILL, it’s good enough I think it’s worth posting here.  :)

Power – the ability and means to inflict your ideas and values on others.

Authority – the right and ability to lead others in a certain direction.

Verse of the Day
Random Quote

“Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man’s life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.” — John Adams
