Jean Chrétien on power

Aline and I have travelled a very long, very hard road together, from our working class homes in rural Quebec to the palaces of London, Paris, Moscow, and Beijing. Politics was the route, public service the reward.

• Happiness

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

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