Famous quotes containing the words person and/or people:

    I do not hesitate to say, that those who call themselves Abolitionists should at once effectually withdraw their support, both in person and property, from the government of Massachusetts, and not wait until they constitute a majority of one, before they suffer the right to prevail through them. I think that it is enough if they have God on their side, without waiting for that other one. Moreover, any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
