Famous quotes containing the word persons:
“Humanity from the first has had its vultures and sharks, and representatives of the fraternity who prey upon mankind may be expected no less in America than elsewhere.

Bullies are always cowards at heart ...”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“To suppose the soul to think, and the man not to perceive it, is, as has been said, to make two persons in one man: And if one considers well these men’s way of speaking, one should be led into a suspicion that they do so. For they who tell us that the soul always thinks, do never, that I remember, say that a man always thinks.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together; every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
