Famous quotes containing the words influence on, influence and/or christianity:

    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)

    Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies’ resources, and minimized their own.
    Titus Livius (Livy)

    I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark, though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
