Another good quote from my recent required graduate reading assignments:
"The values of God's kingdom are different from the values of this world. In the world, greatness is judged by the power a person exercises over others. In the kingdom, greatness is judged by service to people. As children on the King, we follow kingdom values." (Dune Elmer, Cross-Cultural Servanthood, page 25)
Elmer then talks about the the difference between wearing the robe or carrying the towel. Jesus is able to do both. Yet he has called us to do only one; carry the towel.

This quote relates WELL to your previous post on "Winning a Hearing."
"In the kingdom, greatness is judged by service to people."
...and that just might actually work, too! :) (No pun intended.) Again, actions and the fruit of the spirit[ual life] are so much more effective than simple words.
