Ralph Waldo Emerson is often credited with this quote: "Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings, those who cheer today will curse tomorrow, only one thing endures, character." This quote emphasizes that materialistic things like fame, popularity, and riches are fleeting, while one's character is the only thing that truly lasts.

How did Islam impact Christianity?

In a religious sense, Islam did not affect Christianity, i.e. none of the Christian doctrines changed on account of Islam's existence. However, much of the Islamic World replaced former Christian countries, such as Tunisia, East Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Spain. These conquests redirected Christian thought to reconquering and re-Christianizing those regions. There was a harsh and belligerent tone taken by Christendom to the military expansion of Islam. Christians in the Islamic Caliphates did take on different forms of dress and had a more repressed culture. The Eastern Churches had a more strained relationship with Rome which endures to this day.


Was the Enlightenment more significant than the industrial revolution in shaping the modern world?

That is a matter of opinion. Enlightenment thinking is responsible for the way that modern democracies function, industrialization is responsible for the way the economy in those democracies (and in other 'modern' countries) functions. You could however argue that the form of industrialization that the industrial revolution started is already changing under the influence and possibilities of today's digital age; but that the democratic form of government that is a result of Enlightenment thinking still endures and will continue to do so for a considerable time. So it's debatable which of the two is more 'significant'; Enlightenment is at least more enduring.
