Famous quotes containing the word influence:

    “The higher the state of civilization, the more completely do the actions of one member of the social body influence all the rest, and the less possible is it for any one man to do a wrong thing without interfering, more or less, with the freedom of all his fellow-citizens.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “Life is made too easy. Mankind’s moral fibre is giving way under the softening influence of luxury.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfilment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.”
    —Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
