Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The secret lies, I think, in his intimate knowledge of the people he is addressing be they black or white, and in the forthrightness with which he speaks of those things which hurt and baffle them.... He allows them their self-respect—indeed, he insists on it.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Superior people remain kind and just even in poverty, but lowly people who become rich lord it over others.”
—Chinese proverb.
“If God wants us to do a thing, he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
