Influence
At the onset of the 2000s, Muhammed bin Fahd was not regarded as a viable condidate for the throne due to his reputation as a high-powered businessman grown wealthy on commissions and his playboy lifestyle. However, later Muhammed bin Fahd, together with Bandar bin Sultan and Muhammad bin Nayef, is reported to be considered as a candidate for the throne when the line of succession passes to the grandsons of King Abdulaziz. He was again mentioned as a possible contender after the death of Prince Nayef on 16 June 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“Perhaps I stand now on the eve of a new life, shall watch the sun rise and disappear behind a black cloud extending out into a grey sky cover. I shall not be deceived by its glory. If it is to be so, there is work and the influence that work brings, but not happiness. Am I strong enough to face that?”
—Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)
“The purifying, healing influence of literature, the dissipating of passions by knowledge and the written word, literature as the path to understanding, forgiveness and love, the redeeming might of the word, the literary spirit as the noblest manifestation of the spirit of man, the writer as perfected type, as saint.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Important as fathers are, their influence on children shouldn’t be exaggerated just because they were ignored so long. There is no evidence that there is something especially good about fathers as caretakers. There are no areas where it can be said that fathers must do certain things in order to achieve certain outcomes in children. The same goes for mothers.”
—Michael Lamb (late–20th century)
