Famous quotes containing the word people:
“If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God. We must serve him in whatever way we are called. I am called to help the individual; to love each poor person. Not to deal with institutions. I am in no position to judge.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
“If people should ever start to do only what is necessary millions would die of hunger.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“Gold has a price, but people are priceless.”
—Chinese proverb.
