Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The people we keep standing in the anteroom of our favor either start fermenting or turn sour.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The Landlord is a gentleman ... who does not earn his wealth. He has a host of agents and clerks that receive for him. He does not even take the trouble to spend his wealth. He has a host of people around him to do the actual spending. He never sees it until he comes to enjoy it. His sole function, his chief pride, is the stately consumption of wealth produced by others.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”
—Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
