Famous quotes containing the word people:

    A seeming ignorance is very often a most necessary part of worldly knowledge. It is, for instance, commonly advisable to seem ignorant of what people offer to tell you; and, when they say, Have you not heard of such a thing? to answer, No, and to let them go on, though you know it already.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    While most of today’s jobs do not require great intelligence, they do require greater frustration tolerance, personal discipline, organization, management, and interpersonal skills than were required two decades and more ago. These are precisely the skills that many of the young people who are staying in school today, as opposed to two decades ago, lack.
    James P. Comer (20th century)

    I hope there are some who will brave ridicule for the sake of common justice to half the people in the world.
    Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon (1827–1891)
