Famous quotes containing the word people:

    Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? You never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud, and what changes a darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these things—what eternity is, for example—I wouldn’t care if they did think I was crazy.
    Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    Generally speaking, we would make a good bargain by renouncing all the good that people say of us, upon condition they would say no ill.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

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