Sting/people

Famous quotes containing the words sting and/or people:

    Then, welcome each rebuff
    That turns earth’s smoothness rough,
    Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    When people generally are aware of a problem, it can be said to have entered the public consciousness. When people get on their hind legs and holler, the problem has not only entered the public consciousness—it has also become a part of the public conscience. At that point, things in our democracy begin to hum.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
