Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.

No all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

So it is more useful to watch a man in time of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask it torn off, reality remains.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Individuals are the sum of their unique experiences, challenges, and accomplishments. What matters is not the barriers they face, but how they choose to confront them. And their race is not to blame for everything—good or bad—that happens in their lives.

The same power that rose Christ from the dead, is living inside of you.

Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of everything else to which he is justly entitled.

He who does not desire power is fit to hold it.

You are the only person who thinks in your mind. You are the power and authority in your world.

Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.

Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people flourished.

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.
