Famous quotes containing the word people:

    Most people enjoy the inferiority of their best friends.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Only when human sorrows are turned into a toy with glaring colors will baby people become interested—for a while at least. The people are a very fickle baby that must have new toys every day.

    For people may not know what they think
    about politics in the Balkans,
    or the vexed question of men and women,

    but everyone has a definite opinion
    about the flavour of shredded coconut.
