    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Mitt Romney money
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Be careful with this one, you might find yourself losing empathy for the impoverished and wealthy as you run for political office.

    I thought politics were not allowed in the Frontroom. Everyone would be crying foul if someone said Obama Vacationing powers or something like that.
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    If I had to choose, would be two powers -

    - Morphing, like Mystique from Xmen. Able to change my body shape to anything I liked. Male, Female, even a sheep if I wanted to. The possibilities are endless.
    - To be able to choose the moment I die. Rather like invincibility, without the whole clause where you are stuck there till the end of time. I have the option to simply "give up the ghost" if I desired.

    That could backfire. It would not be difficult to induce that desire, in captivity.

    And that would be a disadvantage to non-powered how?

    You are right: all would be equally disadvantaged for what I'm considering here, unless one's power is to somehow make oneself resistant...

    I would like to also mention the suggestion that time travel would be a fine superpower to possess. As long as you didn't mess with the time stream or anything and fudge with history. Believe it or not (probably believe) I have always wanted to court a woman from the 18th or 19th centuries. Yes...I do find myself strange at times...

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Soviet Union is the best, bar none, both in the superpower and superpower kind of way.

    Let's face it:

    1) Half the world obeys you
    2) The other half fears you

    Flight? Pfff, I can fly wherever I want. Time control? Stupid, I want control in my time not control of the time. Invincibility? Check. Invisibility? Why, I'd do whatever I want anyway...
