"اصلیترین سودمندی ما برای بشریت در توانایی ترکیب قدرت با هدف والا نهفته است. قدرتی که توسط هدف والا هدایت نشود، فاجعهای به بار میآورد، و هدف والا به خودی خود کاملاً بیفایده است اگر قدرت لازم برای به اثر درآوردن آن وجود نداشته باشد."
— Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
People can be very powerful and achieve a lot, but power alone isn't enough. It's important to have good goals and a strong reason for what you're doing. For instance, if someone has a lot of money (power) but no desire to help others, they might waste their money in harmful ways. On the other hand, if someone dreams of feeding the homeless (high purpose) but has no resources or skills (power), they can't do much to help. Combining money with their wish to help, they can open kitchens and make a big difference. It's about having both the ability to act and the right reasons for doing so — only then can they really make a positive impact.
