Famous quotes containing the word people:

    On his favourite subject of subordination, Johnson said, “So far is it from being true that men are naturally equal, that no two people can be half an hour together, but one shall acquire an evident superiority over the other.”
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.
    Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
