Dacher Keltner Quotes
The power paradox is that we gain power by advancing the welfare of other people and yet when we feel powerful, it turns us into impulsive sociopaths and we lose those very skills.

And then the irony is that once we feel powerful and we are taken with our own success, we ignore the skills that got us power in the first place.
