"我们对人类最大的用处在于我们将力量与崇高目标结合起来。未被崇高目的引导的力量预示着灾难，而单纯的崇高目标如果没有实现它的力量则完全无用。"
— 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.
