Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “The ground for taking ignorance to be restrictive of freedom is that it causes people to make choices which they would not have made if they had seen what the realization of their choices involved.”
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)

    “How awful to reflect that what people say of us is true!”
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

    “I would have these good people to recollect, that the laws of this country hold out to foreigners an offer of all that liberty of the press which Americans enjoy, and that, if this liberty be abridged, by whatever means it may be done, the laws and the constitution, and all together, is a mere cheat; a snare to catch the credulous and enthusiastic of every other nation; a downright imposition on the world.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)
