Famous quotes containing the words reaching and/or influence:
“The pious ones of Plymouth who, reaching the Rock, first fell upon their own knees and then upon the aborigines.”
—William M. Evarts (1818–1901)
“To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
