Influencing People Quotes

Influence, people think about it as someone you like but influence is also what you're revolted by. In fact, often it's what you're running away from. Marc Ribot
... a practical problem can only be solved by action itself. When your practical problem is how to earn a living, a book on how to make friends and influence people cannot solve it, though it may suggest things to do. Nothing short of the doing solves the problem. It is solved only by earning a living. Mortimer Adler
Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not "making friends and influencing people", that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. Peter Drucker
You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don't agree with, or find disagreeable, so it's important to stress that balance. William Hague
There was a widespread indignation in the American media. They were saying, 'How can you make a movie during an election that's about politics? What are you doing? Are you trying to influence people's lives?' To which my response was, 'Well, I hope so.' John Sayles
Jonathan Krohn quote: "Now that I'm a political pundit, I have the ability to..."

People writing about me have said that I've influenced a lot of people, and there are some artists who have credited me with influencing them. Harvey Pekar
People are composed of many things, and in my work, what influences me is the complexity of people - the chiaroscuro of dark and light. When I play a strong guy, I try to find, where is he weak? And, conversely, when I play a weak guy, where is he strong? Kirk Douglas
People ask 'do you make a conscious effort not to swear?' - if you're doing silly stuff you're not tempted to put swearing in. All the comics from my childhood, who were funny without swearing, were the people that influenced me. What I do is quite traditional anyway. Tim Vine
Norton Juster quote: "People always ask about my influences, and they cite a bunch..."
People always ask about my influences, and they cite a bunch of people I've never heard of. Norton Juster
Karel Capek quote: "People with ideas should not be allowed to have an influence..."
People with ideas should not be allowed to have an influence on affairs of the world. Karel Capek
People enter politics or the Civil Service out of a desire to exert power and influence events; this, I maintain, is an illness. It's only when one realises that great administrators and leaders of men have all been at any rate slightly mad that one has a true understanding of history. Auberon Waugh
People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts, neglecting children, destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult. Keith Henson
People are naming it the Third Wave, the Information Age, etc. but I would say those are basically technological descriptions, and this next shift is not about technology - although obviously it will be influenced and in some cases expressed by technologies. Paul Hawken
People feel that decisions about their jobs, the way their children are educated, how their church functions, and products they buy are made by someone and some place so distant that they can't find anybody to talk to that has any influence over them. Robert Teeter
