Famous quotes containing the word people:

    The New Year is the season in which custom seems more particularly to authorize civil and harmless lies, under the name of compliments. People reciprocally profess wishes which they seldom form and concern which they seldom feel.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
