“Power is not a means; it is an end.”

“Knowledge conceived as an instrument is a means to the end of power. The goal of philosophy, however, is not to gain power over the Absolute but to know it as it truly is.”

“Every power vested in a government is in its nature sovereign, and includes by force of the term a right to employ all the means requisite…to the attainment of the ends of such power.”

“The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided man.”

“…increasing remoteness of desires from needs. …increasing confusion between means and ends. The ends are human needs… Instead they want the means they have been brainwashed to accept… Never was any society in human history as rich and as powerful as Western Civilization and the United States, and it is not a happy society.”

“This is not an end, but only a means to an end.”

“A Warrior knows that the ends do not justify the means. Because there are no ends, there are only means…”

“The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.”

“Reading is not an end to itself, but a means to an end.”

“But the nature of the universe is such that the ends never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.”
