Powerfully persuasive speech acts
The purpose of this form is to collect as many instances as possible of [small numbers of words] that had a [large impact on changing your beliefs or behavior]. I'd like any and all examples, from any and all domains—professional, romantic, spiritual, motivational, philosophical, etc. **You may fill out this form more than once!** Additional bonus if the words didn't draw their power from circumstance (e.g. a mugger saying "Give me your wallet or I'll shoot" can be a very powerful sentence, but mostly because of the gun rather than the words themselves), but I'll take circumstantial examples as well.

(Optional) What was the original belief or the default behavior prior to hearing the words?

On a scale of one to ten, how POWERFUL was the shift? Think of a 1 as being something like "eh, I was feeling hungry for pizza, but now that you mention it, Chinese food would be fine, too," and a 10 as being something akin to converting to (or deconverting from) a religion in the space of a minute, i.e. something that completely changes your life afterward.
