Famous quotes containing the word influences:

    “The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature. Every day, the sun; and after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I don’t believe in villains or heroes, only in right or wrong ways that individuals are taken, not by choice, but by necessity or by certain still uncomprehended influences in themselves, their circumstances and their antecedents.”
    —Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

    “Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened, but of what men believe happened.”
    —Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)
