Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “The people who make wars, the people who reduce their fellows to slavery, the people who kill and torture and tell lies in the name of their sacred causes, the really evil people in a word—these are never the publicans and the sinners. No, they’re the virtuous, respectable men, who have the finest feelings, the best brains, the noblest ideals.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “When people are in trouble they need to talk.”
    —A.I. (Albert Isaac)

    “Many people come into company full of what they intend to say in it themselves, without the least regard to others; and thus charged up to the muzzle are resolved to let it off at any rate.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
