“It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people’s lives.”– Clint Eastwood Related Quotes “Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.”– Jonathan Swift “Surrendering is intentionally laying down the power I possess. And have I considered that the power I lay down is often more powerful than that which I’m laying it down in front of? Therefore, I would be wise to recognize that surrender is less the absence of power and more the presence of fear.”— Craig D. Lounsbrough “Right now, when we’re hearing so much disturbing and hateful rhetoric, it is so important to remember that our diversity has been – and will always be – our greatest source of strength and pride here in the United States.”— Michelle Obama
