Francis Bacon on power

A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.

• Happiness

What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself.

Friedrich Nietzsche1844–1900The Antichrist (1895), Aphorism 2

Carl Jung1875–1961The Psychology of the Unconscious (1943), P. 97
