Famous quotes containing the word influence:

    “Constitutional statutes ... which embody the settled public opinion of the people who enacted them and whom they are to govern—can always be enforced. But if they embody only the sentiments of a bare majority, pronounced under the influence of a temporary excitement, they will, if strenuously opposed, always fail of their object; nay, they are likely to injure the cause they are framed to advance.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.”
    —Korean proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)

    “The woman who can’t influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
