Famous quotes containing the word influence:

    “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)

    “I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake, whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way. But in this water there are countless objects at different depths; and certain influences will give certain kinds of those objects an upward influence which may be intense enough and continue long enough to bring them into the upper visible layer. After the impulse ceases they commence to sink downwards.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “The woman who can’t influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
