Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
“Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war—for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I’d say we deserve ours more.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
“The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
