Summary

This quote suggests that having visionary ideas or ideals alone is not enough to create a lasting and influential culture. While having a sense of purpose and moral integrity is important, it lacks the impact and substance necessary to bring about long-term change. Power, in this context, refers to the ability to enact those ideas and translate them into a tangible reality. It highlights the need for action and implementation alongside a strong vision in order to shape a culture that endures and leaves a lasting legacy.
