When you feel powerful, you are willing to stand up for your rights, you are willing to stand up for what you believe in, you're more willing to stand up and be counted.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some folks hesitate to seize additional strength because they think it wrong or dangerous to be a powerful individual. Somehow they have acquired the false notion that tyranny or dictatorship or cruelty are the outcomes of a powerful personality. These characteristics are not power. They are weaknesses disguised as power.
There are things you stand up for because it's right.
The stronger you stand on your principles, the easier it is to fight. The first time, it's tough, but the second time, it's always easier. You just have to push for your rights.
You have to stand up for some things in this world.
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.
Stand up for what you know is right.
To have influence, you really don't need to have power. But what you need more than anything else is to have that almost uncanny understanding of what matters to people.
Power is the chance to impose your will within a social context, even when opposed and regardless of the integrity of that chance.
The more you are talked about the less powerful you are.
Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!
