Famous quotes containing the words people and/or note:

    “Every murder turns on a bright hot light, and a lot of people ... have to walk out of the shadows.”
    —Mark Hellinger (1903–1947)

    “... if we look around us in social life and note down who are the faithful wives, the most patient and careful mothers, the most exemplary housekeepers, the model sisters, the wisest philanthropists, and the women of the most social influence, we will have to admit that most frequently they are women of cultivated minds, without which even warm hearts and good intentions are but partial influences.”
    —Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
