What does 'power tires only those who do not have it' suggest?
It suggests that the burden of power falls hardest on people who lack it, since the powerless are the ones left exhausted by struggling against a system already stacked against them.
Why does this collection group such different meanings of 'tires' together?
Because the same word swings between a literal Car part, a proverb about endurance, and a commentary on power, showing how flexible a single everyday word can be across contexts.

Older, more proverbial lines take the word more seriously, arguing that whoever doesn't tire eventually tires Adversity itself, and that power only wears down those who lack it.
