Famous quotes containing the word people:

    The chief lesson of the Depression should never be forgotten. Even our liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened by another breakdown of our free enterprise system. We can no more afford another general depression than we can afford another total war, if democracy is to survive.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honour as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    One American said that the most interesting thing about Holy Ireland was that its people hate each other in the name of Jesus Christ. And they do!
    Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)
