Famous quotes containing the word people:

    When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked.... In other words, I don’t improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

    Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together.
    Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth; with
    righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm XCVIII (l. XCVIII, 8–9)

    The secret lies, I think, in his intimate knowledge of the people he is addressing be they black or white, and in the forthrightness with which he speaks of those things which hurt and baffle them.... He allows them their self-respect—indeed, he insists on it.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
