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:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I can not but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world ... and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“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)
