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)

“A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
