You don`t have to be a "person of influence" to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they`ve taught me.
- Scott AdamsThere is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one`s own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else`s music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.
- Oscar WildeThe strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love. Whomever I love and am with most of the time, or whomever I remember most vividly. I think that`s true of everyone, don`t you?
- Tennessee WilliamsChildren are more influenced by sermons you act than by sermons you preach.
- David McKayThe future influences the present just as much as the past.
- Friedrich NietzscheThe longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

- Jacques EllulFor the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearance, as though they were realities and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are
- Niccolo MachiavelliI love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
- Roy CroftBe not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
- Thomas Kempis "I`m not as wild as I used to be when I`m away from the gym and maybe Jennifer`s played a part in that, though I think it`s also about becoming older and more mature."
