Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Conventions, at the present moment, are really menaced. The most striking sign of this is that people are now making unconventionality a social virtue, instead of an unsocial vice. The switches have been opened, and the laden trains must take their chance of a destination.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    “Trouble doesn’t seek people; people seek trouble.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
