Famous quotes containing the word people:

    Socialists make the mistake of confusing individual worth with success. They believe you cannot allow people to succeed in case those who fail feel worthless.
    Kenneth Baker (b. 1934)

    Trouble doesn’t seek people; people seek trouble.
    Chinese proverb.

    Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wise—even in their own field.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
