Famous quotes containing the words influence, modern and/or culture:

    “I am not sure but I should betake myself in extremities to the liberal divinities of Greece, rather than to my country’s God. Jehovah, though with us he has acquired new attributes, is more absolute and unapproachable, but hardly more divine, than Jove. He is not so much of a gentleman, not so gracious and catholic, he does not exert so intimate and genial an influence on nature, as many a god of the Greeks.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I know this, and I know it from actual experience in the Orient, that the progress of modern Christian civilization has largely depended on the earnest hard work of the Christian missions of every denomination.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
