A Quote by Steve Rushin

Headline writers love the phrase 'Power Grab,' but you can't really grab it, can you? Power is a greased watermelon, a wisp of smoke, difficult to grasp, harder to hold, impossible to control while getting both feet down in bounds.

Every power grab is the new base camp for the next power grab.

Gordon B. Hinckley

When in doubt, grab power.

Caspar Weinberger

You always hold the key of repentance to unlock the prison door. If they throw the word diversity at you, grab hold of it and say, "I am already diverse, and I intend to stay diverse." If the word is tolerance, grab that one, too, saying, "I expect you to be tolerant of my lifestyle-obedience, integrity, abstinence, repentance." If the word is choice, tell them you choose good, old-fashioned morality.

Boyd K. Packer

It's the most ambitious power grab I've ever witnessed.

Rick Santorum
