Quote by Catherine the Great

Power without a nation's confidence is nothing.

Power without a nation's confidence is nothing.

Summary

This quote suggests that power, in any form, lacks meaning or effectiveness if it is not supported by the trust, belief, and support of the people or citizens of a nation. Power alone cannot succeed in achieving its goals or maintaining its dominance if it does not have the confidence and backing of the population it governs or influences. In other words, power must be derived from a mutual understanding and trust between the ruling authority and the people in order to be meaningful and impactful.
