Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Men especially need to communicate. To tell people years after the fact that they were the priority is the coward’s way. If men can muster the courage to fire an employee, tell off a boss, or assume financial risk, they can dig deep and say the three little words their wives and children need to hear.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
