Quotations for impress

Novelties please less than they impress. [ Dickens ]

Habits leave their impress upon the mind, even after they are given up. [ Spurgeon ]

Nothing in this low and ruined world bears the meek impress of the Son of God so surely as forgiveness. [ Alice Cary ]

O God, impress upon me the value of time, and give regulation to all my thoughts and to all my movements. [ Chalmers ]

Throughout the pages of history we are struck with the fact that our remarkable men possessed mothers of uncommon talents for good or bad, and great energy of character; it would almost seem from this circumstance, that the impress of the mother is more frequently stamped on the boy, and that of the father upon the girl - we mean the mental intellectual impress, in distinction from the physical ones. Mothers will do well to remember that their impress is often stamped upon their sons. [ Helen Mar ]
