Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self- complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people cruel and bitter.”
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)

    “I can remember no time when I did not understand that my mother must write books because people would have and read them; but I cannot remember one hour in which her children needed her and did not find her.”
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    “It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.”
    —Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)
