Lust for Power

Goethe, Faust, Part II, lines 7015-7017 (tr. Stuart Atkins):
                            Those not competent to rule
their own unruly selves, with eager arrogance
seek to impose their will upon their neighbor's will.

                            Denn jeder, der sein innres Selbst
Nicht zu regieren weiß, regierte gar zu gern
Des Nachbars Willen, eignem stolzen Sinn gemäß.
