Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Of the best rulers The people only know that they exist; The next best they love and praise The next they fear; And the next they revile. When they do not command the people’s faith, Some will lose faith in them, And then they resort to oaths! But of the best when their task is accomplished, their work done, The people all remark, “We have done it ourselves.””
    —Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)

    “The art of cursing people seems to have lost its tang since the old days when a good malediction took four deep breaths to deliver and sent the outfielders scurrying toward the fence to field.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “... people are almost always better than their neighbours think they are.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
