Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Scarlett O’Hara: What shall we do? Ashley, what’s to become of us?
    Ashley Wilkes: What do you think becomes of people when their civilization breaks up? Those who have brains and courage come through all right. Those who aren’t are winnowed out.”
    —Sidney Howard (1891–1939)

    “Some men love only to talk where they are masters. They like to go to school-girls, or to boys, or into the shops where the sauntering people gladly lend an ear.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
