Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Love has been not unaptly compared to the small-pox, which most people have sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves; but I give it fair quarter, wherever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of good to the possessor, and to others who are within his sphere of action: and therefore, in many cases, it would not be altogether absurd if a man were to thank God for his vanity among the other comforts of life.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“Most people know more as they get older:
I give all that the cold shoulder.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
