When Ozymandias ordered the words to be inscribed on the statue, what did he mean by "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair"?

Ozymandias thought so highly of himself that he had this statue built with that inscription to intimidate anyone who might come near it. He meant for it to be a warning to not try and invade or attack, the despair part is meant to be the person despairing because they could never be as great as Ozymandias. 
The meaning is twisted though, as the statue crumbles with time showing that all leaders -- especially those who value themselves so highly--will fall.

What characteristics did they most value in people
rewona [7]

I think that this is something everyone has a different opinion on. It's not based around one thing. Someone may value trustworthiness most, while others may value loyalty, humility, humor, affection, etc. There's many possible answers to this.

<span>Well, he starts off by justifying his reasons with patriotism. "Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in American-made energy." He also uses facts and promises of a brighter future to gain an audience. "75% of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in 8 years. Last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years." We also see more facts in his closing statements, "But with only 2% of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough" He then inadvertently talks about different types of energy sources. These being clean, reliable and opening jobs. This passively emphasizes that we need clean energy for ambiguous reasons, such as global warming and pollutants. It also gives the listeners hope of an increase in the job market. We know that America has had low job-rates lately, so the possibility of new jobs sparks a fire in the heart's of the people. Also, he mentions the gas will be cheaper, which is big, too, since our economy has gone through inflation and a financial depression, and because of this gas has skyrocketed. Cheaper gas motivates people to invest (Taxes?) in these new ideologies and technologies.

Hope this helps :)</span>
