The most powerful force in American politics is not anger, it's nostalgia.

Pete Hamill

Decisive inventions and discoveries always are initiated by an intellectual or moral stimulus as their actual motivating force, but, usually, the final impetus to human action is given by material impulses ... merchants stood as a driving force behind the heroes of the age of discovery; this first heroic impulse to conquer the world emanated from very mortal forces

Stefan Zweig

To succeed in big-city politics requires a powerful, motivating vision of a better world, a plan to get there, a willingness to meet constituents on their terms, and a tough political skin.

Michael Nutter

I personally do not believe in strident activism. I do not believe in moral outrage, because even moral outrage is rage, and rage is rage - it adds to more rage in the collective consciousness, if we understand how consciousness works.

Deepak Chopra

I think that money spoils most things, once it becomes the primary motivating force.

John Cleese

business itself is now the most powerful force for change in the world today, richer and faster by far than most governments. And what is it doing with this power? It is using free trade, the most powerful weapon at its disposal, to tighten its grip on the globe.

Anita Roddick

Marijuana is the finest anti-nausea medication known to science, and our leaders have lied about this consistently. [Arresting people for] medical marijuana is the most hideous example of government interference in the private lives of individuals. It's an outrage within an outrage within an outrage.

Peter McWilliams

Love is not a weak, spineless emotion; it is a powerful moral force on the side of justice.

Bernice King

If an instrument similar to a geiger-counter could be invented that counted moral judgements instead, we would learn to duck as people became increasingly 'moral', since lethal force is usually imminent. So far from moral fervour being an alternative to force, it is frequently the overture, the accompaniment and the memorial to it.

Charles Hampden-Turner

The most powerful force ever known on this planet is human cooperation - a force for construction and destruction.

Jonathan Haidt

Mother love is the most powerful, the most irrational force on earth, even more powerful than sexual love. However, one does lead to the other, so best not to spurn the former.

Rita Mae Brown

Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The combination of moral intentionality and human innovation is a powerful force. And that's the force behind the humane economy. By embracing its tenets, we help animals, but we also advance commerce in a more sustainable, and profitable, way. I think we have every reason to believe it is the way of the future.

Wayne Pacelle

Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater-the love of God.

Billy Graham

I think empathy can serve as a moral spark, motivating us to do good things. But anything can be a moral spark.

Paul Bloom

Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.

Anita Roddick
