Famous quotes containing the words noble, influence and/or legacy:

    Heaven grant him now some noble nook,
    For, rest his soul! he’d rather be
    Genteelly damn’d beside a Duke,
    Than sav’d in vulgar company.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    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)

    What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
