Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike. When anybody comes, if his special problem concerns the state, refer him to the governor of Pennsylvania. If his problem has a national phase, refer him to the United States Coal Commission. In no event bring him to me.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The public is one thing, Jack, and the people another.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Very few people love others for what they are; rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
