Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The people know that they need in their representative much more than talent, namely, the power to make his talent trusted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? You never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud, and what changes a darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these things—what eternity is, for example—I wouldn’t care if they did think I was crazy.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
“People who know what is good for other people all the time are as big a menace in our society as the capitalists.”
—May Hobbs (b. 1938)
