Famous quotes containing the word people:

    Sensible people get the greater part of their own dying done during their own lifetime. A man at five and thirty should no more regret not having had a happier childhood than he should regret not having been born a prince of the blood.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
    Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)

    The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
    Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
