The greater the impact you want to make, the greater your influence needs to be. Whatever you will accomplish is restricted by your ability to lead others.

And do something positive in your corner of the world.

To lead change, to be a catalyst, you have to believe you can make a difference.

Success is more than just power or not violating the rights of others; it is the privilege of contributing to the betterment of others.

My Influence My life shall touch a dozen lives Before this day is done. Leave countless marks of good or ill, E'er sets the evening sun. This, the wish I always wish, The prayer I always pray; Lord, may my life help others' lives It touches by the way.

Social influence doesn't become leadership influence until the people following change their behavior and take action as a result of the interaction with the influencer.

Influencing others is a matter of disposition, not position.

I believe that no matter what "plot" each of our stories may follow, deep down we all want one thing. We want our lives to matter. We want our stories to be of significance.

Who never caused others to die Seldom rates a statue.

If your desire is to be successful or to make a positive impact on your world, you need to become a person of influence.

Let us be those creative dissenters who will call our beloved nation to a higher destiny. To a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness.

What people regard as vanity—leaving great works, having children, acting in such a way as to prevent one's name from being forgotten—I regard as the highest expression of human dignity.
