The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
