So do you want your life to "take off"? Begin at once to imagine it the way you want it to be-and move into that. Check every thought, word and action that does not fall into harmony with that. Move away from those.

Marlo Morgan

I like skating big stuff, and you need the power to get on those obstacles and take the impact coming off. You need the strength to take the hard falls.

Nyjah Huston

I've always had a philosophy that position doesn't define power. Impact defines power. What impact are you making on people? What impact are you making on business?

Mindy Grossman

Any form of art is a form of power; it has impact, it can affect change - it can not only move us, it makes us move.

Ossie Davis

Any form of art is a form of power; it has impact, it can affect change. It can not only move us, it makes us move.

Ossie Davis

Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression, because power, real power, comes from our conviction which produces action, uncompromising action.

Malcolm X

By the time it becomes obvious that a technology will have truly disruptive impact, it is often too late to take action. This is one reason why we are such advocates of using theory to try to analyze industry change. Conclusive evidence that proves that a company needs to take action almost never exists. In fact, the data can fool management, lulling them into a false sense of security.

Clayton Christensen

Pakistan is riddled with problems that are rooted in the disproportionate power of the state. Aid has only boosted that power.

Iqbal Quadir

Let no one ever shy away from the claim that Jews have power, that Jews have influence. We have learned the terrible lesson of history; that unless we have influence and power, disproportionate to our small numbers - immoral results will occur. We need power. And we must continue to use our power. Power which we earned, power which no one gave us on a silver platter, power which we worked hard for - use that power in the interests of justice.

Alan Dershowitz

Personal power involves producing success through modeling what works and taking consistent action towards your goals. At the same time, you have to internalize behavioral and belief changes in order to take the necessary action to produce the results. It's been said that successful people do what others won't, and that if you believe you can or you believe you can't, you're right. Both of those statements are true.

Tony Robbins

Voter ID laws have a disproportionate impact on groups that lean democratic - including blacks, hispanics and students.

Adam Cohen

In Armenia, the power de facto belongs to those who opted to take violent action in Karabakh. We are dealing with a military dictatorship that utilizes some kind of democratic procedures.

Garry Kasparov

Those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.

Nicolas Cage

Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random. The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms. As for the victims, the government now has license to transfer property from those with fewer resources to those with more. The Founders cannot have intended this perverse result.

Sandra Day O'Connor

Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.

Hortense Odlum

[G]overnment can, instead of extending freedom, restrict freedom. And note ... that the 'can' quickly becomes 'will' the moment the holders of government power are left to their own devices. This is because of the corrupting influence of power, the natural tendency of men who possess some power to take unto themselves more power. The tendency leads eventually to the acquisition of all power - whether in the hands of one or many makes little difference to the freedom of those left on the outside.

Barry Goldwater
