Famous quotes containing the words influence, adult and/or life:

    You can never really live anyone else’s life, not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you’ve become yourself.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    When children dress like adults they are more likely to behave as adults do, to imitate adult actions. It is hard to walk like an adult male wearing corduroy knickers that make an awful noise. But boys in long pants can walk like men, and little girls in tight jeans can walk like women.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    I perceive that we inhabitants of New England live this mean life that we do because our vision does not penetrate the surface of things. We think that that is which appears to be.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
