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)

—Septima Clark (1898–1987)

—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
