"Never mistake the power of influence..." - Quote by Jim Rohn

“The more you care, the stronger you can be.”

“All disciplines affect each other. Mistakenly the man says, `This is the only area where I let down.` Not true. Every let down affects the rest. Not to think so is naive.”

“How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.”

“It's a long time coming as far as the work that I put in. Now I know that I got the stamp but what counts is what comes behind. That's what's really important. Upholding that stamp and not only keeping the energy my way but also spreading that energy out to other artists that are coming up on the West Coast.”

“Although as a rule the absurd culminates, and it seems impossible for the voice of the individual ever to penetrate through the chorus of foolers and fooled, still there is left to the genuine works of all times a quite peculiar, silent, slow, and powerful influence; and as if by a miracle, we see them rise at last out of the turmoil like a balloon that floats up out of the thick atmosphere of this globe into purer regions. Having once arrived there, it remains at rest, and no one can any longer draw it down again.”

“The most attractive class of people are those who are powerful obliquely, and not by the direct stroke: men of genius, but not yetaccredited: one gets the cheer of their light, without paying too great a tax.”

“The Grecians and Romans were strongly possessed of the spirit of liberty but not the principle, for at the time they were determined not to be slaves themselves, they employed their power to enslave the rest of mankind.”

“You have no ability, if you're a financial institution and you're threatened with criminal prosecution, you have no ability to negotiate.”

“Power is what they like - it is the greatest of all aphrodisiacs.”
