Born/people

Famous quotes containing the words born and/or people:

“All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive. But strong natures, backwoodsmen, New Hampshire giants, Napoleons, Burkes, Broughams, Websters, Kossuths, are inevitable patriots, until their life ebbs, and their defects and gout, palsy and money, warp them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“We don’t get to know people when they come to us; we have to go to them so as to learn what they are like.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
