Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “The principal thing children are taught by hearing these lullabies is respect. They are taught to respect certain things in life and certain people. By giving respect, they hope to gain self-respect and through self-respect, they gain the respect of others. Self-respect is one of the qualities my people stress and try to nurture, and one of the controls an Indian has as he grows up. Once you lose your self-respect, you just go down.”
    —Henry Old Coyote (20th century)

    “The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilisation. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honour, generosity and beauty.... Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “There’re two people in the world that are not likeable: a master and a slave.”
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
