Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Which people desire to lose what they possess? A sick man his fever, a tormented husband his wife, a gambler his debts, and a girl—her virginity.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “You can be much more alone with other people than you are by yourself. Even if it’s people you love.”
    —Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    “Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not merely pull it out and strike it; merely to show that you have one.”
