About this Quote

John Henry Newman's quote speaks with the idea that in order to succeed and have power in this world, one should be strong and have a knack for organizing.

This quote speaks to the concept that power and success come from hard work and dedication, not just from being kind and amiable. It is necessary to have a strong will and the capability to organize and lead in order to have power and dominion. Love is necessary, however it is inadequate to be successful in this world.
