QUOTATIONS ON INFLUENCE
A man leaves all kinds of footprints when he walks through life. Some you can see, like his children and his house. Others are invisible, like the prints he leaves across other people’s lives: the help he gives them and what he has said—his jokes, gossip that has hurt others, encouragement. A man doesn’t think about it, but everywhere he passes, he leaves some kind of mark.
Margaret Lee Runbeck
A river touches places of which its source knows nothing, and Jesus says if we have received of his fullness, however small the visible measure of our lives, out of us will flow the rivers that will bless to the uttermost parts of the earth. We have nothing to do with the outflow.

The people who influence us are those who have stood unconsciously for the right thing; they are like the stars and the lilies; and the joy of God flows through them.
Oswald Chambers (1874–1917)
The people who influence you are people who believe in you.
Henry Drummond (1851–1897)
The radiating influence from one person rightly related to God is incalculable; he may not say much, but you feel different.
Oswald Chambers (1874–1917)
We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly.
Madame Anne Sophie Soymanov Swetchine (1782–1857)
When I think of those who have influenced my life the most, I think not of the great but of the good.

Whom you would change, you must first love.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968)
Why does one man’s yawning make another yawn?
