Influence: What you think you have until you try to use it.

Influence: What you think you have until you try to use it.

Summary

This quote suggests that one's perception of their influence is often different from the reality when they actually attempt to exert it. It implies that gaining power or authority may lead individuals to believe they have control over others, but when they attempt to use their influence, they realize it is not as strong as they initially thought. It highlights the importance of understanding the true extent of one's influence and the limitations that may come with it.

The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had better pass over in silence. But can anyone conceive of a more pointless philosophy, seeing that what we can say clearly amounts to next to nothing? If we omitted all that is unclear, we would probably be left completely uninteresting and trivial tautologies.
