Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

-- To me this has a nice prose and emotional content, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. We are not powerful beyond measure, we are powerful AND inadequate to use it in a rational way. Ex: We can easily destroy the planet in a day (nukes) but our rationality is inadequate to control our power. We are just animals.
