Subject/people

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or people:

“Order is Heaven’s first law; and this confessed,
Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
That such are happier, shocks all common sense.
Condition, circumstance, is not the thing;
Bliss is the same in subject or in king.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“We are constantly being surprised that people did things well before we were born.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
