Famous quotes containing the word people:

    I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I’d like to be.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    History teaches us that the great revolutions aren’t started by people who are utterly down and out, without hope and vision. They take place when people begin to live a little better—and when they see how much yet remains to be achieved.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    Once you are involved in politics, the most difficult thing is to go for hang [be sentenced to death]....We can’t cry over what has happened to us because other people suffer lots more than we suffer.... until you are killed, you can’t say that you have really suffered.
    Ela Ramgobin (b. 1941)
