Famous quotes containing the words people and/or note:

    When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    And all alone comes riding there
    The King that could make his people stare,
    Because he had feathers instead of hair.
    A slow low note and an iron bell.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
