I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we’re sad, and being yellow when we’re cowards, and when we’re mad, we’re red.
Dolly PartonPeople that’s in power – the central banks, these fiat currencies that are traded globally – they got influence over the messaging and the narrative in the media.
Nipsey HussleA general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.
Douglas MacArthurI think the personal relationships I established mattered in terms of what I was able to get done. And I did bring women’s issues to the center of our foreign policy.
Madeleine AlbrightFor me, the Immaculate Conception is the feast of ‚passive action,‘ the action that functions simply by the transmission through us of divine energy. Purity, in spite of outward appearances, is essentially an active virtue, because it concentrates God in us and on those who are subject to our influence.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinLeadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Dwight D. EisenhowerOnly God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.
Billy Graham‚Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined.
Alexander PopeNo honest writer today can possibly avoid being influenced by Freud through his pioneering work into the Unconscious and by the influence of those discoveries on the scientific, philosophic, and artistic work of his contemporaries: but not, by any means, necessarily through Freud’s own writing.

William ShakespeareThere are massive efforts on the part of the internet’s corporate owners to try to direct it to become a technique of marginalisation and control.
Noam ChomskyEverybody is a political person, whether you say something or you are silent. A political attitude is not whether you go to parliament; it’s how you deal with your life, with your surroundings.
Paulo CoelhoIt takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people’s lives.
Clint EastwoodI found that the corridors of power in Delhi were littered with lobbies of various kinds.
Narendra ModiThe time has come for all evangelists to practice full financial disclosure. The world is watching how we walk and how we talk. We must have the highest standards of morality, ethics and integrity if we are to continue to have influence.
Billy GrahamThe good opinion of mankind, like the lever of Archimedes, with the given fulcrum, moves the world.
Thomas JeffersonThere is only one way… to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it.
Dale CarnegieI have kind of a funny relationship with movies. I don’t have to see the whole movie to get an impression of it or to let it have an influence on me.
Lana Del ReyPower does not corrupt. Fear corrupts… perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
John SteinbeckNot brute force but only persuasion and faith are the kings of this world.
Thomas CarlyleEvery time I see documentaries or infomercials about little kids with cancer, I just freak out. It affects me on the highest emotional level… Anytime I think about it, it makes me sadder than anything I can think of.
Kurt CobainCelebrity is ridiculous and silly and it’s mad that people like me are listened to – you know, rap stars and movie stars.
BonoA sad soul can kill quicker than a germ.
John SteinbeckThe more you are talked about the less powerful you are.
Benjamin DisraeliClothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

Ruth Bader GinsburgBlessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another.
George EliotPower does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.

Martin Luther King, Jr.A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
Henry AdamsIf you do not wish a man to do a thing, you had better get him to talk about it; for the more men talk, the more likely they are to do nothing else.
Thomas CarlyleMan alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.
Samuel JohnsonHe who molds the public sentiment… makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make.
Abraham LincolnMy style influences my music and everything around me.
Bad BunnyMy music is influenced by L.A. culture.
Nipsey HusslePeople are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
PlatoWho controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
George OrwellI actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn’t going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I’ve ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn’t want to do whatever he did. So after that, I switched to Communications.
J. ColeSadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil GibranThe influence of ‚Hidden Fortress‘ comes up a lot because it was printed in a book once. The truth is, the only thing I was inspired by was the fact that it’s told from the point of view of two peasants, who get mixed up with a samurai and princess and a lot of very high-level people.
George LucasAffluence means influence.
Jack LondonA master performer like Bill Clinton never lost sight of the fact that as president he had to project confidence and power, but if he was speaking to a group of autoworkers he would adjust his accent and his words to fit the audience, and do the same for a group of executives.
Robert GreeneI believe in that old adage that ‚as goes California, so goes the country.‘
Kamala HarrisMadonna, I think, is the greatest visual musical artist that we’ve ever had. If you look at her photo log, the photographers that she was able to work with throughout her career framed her in the proper way. It was the proper context. It was that visual that made sure that everything was gonna cut through in a certain way.
Kanye WestI’ve used the prestige and influence of having been a president of the United States as effectively as possible. And secondly, I’ve still been able to carry out my commitments to peace and human rights and environmental quality and freedom and democracy and so forth.
Jimmy CarterThere is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life.
Booker T. WashingtonThe measure of a man is what he does with power.
PlatoMotivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
Dwight D. EisenhowerThe moment people feel they know what to expect from you, your spell on them is broken. More: You have ceded them power.
Robert GreeneIn this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.
Abraham LincolnJack Kerouac influenced me quite a bit as a writer… in the Arab sense that the enemy of my enemy was my friend.
Hunter S. ThompsonPeople may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.
John C. MaxwellThe money in politics is a cash cow for the media.
Noam ChomskyAll things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
Friedrich NietzscheI like Italian movies. I was frequently there in the ’60s, in Rome and the vicinity. It was a great period in life. I was very influenced by their stuff.
Clint EastwoodPower is poison. Its effect on Presidents had always been tragic.
Henry Adams
