Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “...I have not found that the people who cling to the letter are always the people who cling to the spirit of the law.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    “[F]rankly ... it was perfectly true that I had, for over a year, expressed the opinion that Indo-China should not go back to France but that it should be administered by an international trusteeship. France has had the country ... for nearly one hundred years, and the people are worse off than they were at the beginning.... France has milked it for one hundred years. The people of Indo-China are entitled to something better than that.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Hell is a city much like London—
    A populous and a smoky city;
    There are all sorts of people undone,
    And there is little or no fun done;
    Small justice shown, and still less pity.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
