Famous quotes containing the words people and/or party:

    I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it—on the inside.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    The real grounds of difference upon important political questions no longer correspond with party lines.... Politics is no longer the topic of this country. Its important questions are settled... Great minds hereafter are to be employed on other matters.... Government no longer has its ancient importance.... The people’s progress, progress of every sort, no longer depends on government. But enough of politics. Henceforth I am out more than ever.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
