Famous quotes containing the words people and/or titles:

    “The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the naïve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest.... Statesmanship ... consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
