Famous quotes containing the word influence:

    “A husband who submits to his wife’s yoke is justly held an object of ridicule. A woman’s influence ought to be entirely concealed.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It behooves every man to see that his influence is on the side of justice, and let the courts make their own characters.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
