"Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes." ― Eleanor Roosevelt Topic(s): Power Tags: allow, never, person More From Eleanor Roosevelt "You can never really live anyone else’s life, not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you’ve become yourself." "You can’t move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn’t mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority." "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’" More In Power "Power and position often make a man trifle with the truth."― George A. Smith "The more extensive a man’s knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do."― Benjamin Disraeli "Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed."― Thomas Huxley
