Famous quotes containing the words influence and/or designs:

    To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    My own thoughts
    Are my companions; my designs and labors
    And aspirations are my only friends.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
