Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Lord, how long?”
—Bible: Hebrew Isaiah, 6:11.

“I like people who like Plato.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He is the rich man in whom the people are rich, and he is the poor man in whom the people are poor; and how to give access to the masterpieces of art and nature, is the problem of civilization.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
