Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself; all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him, not a proud domineering one, as after doubtful contest, but a spontaneous-looking peaceable, even humble one.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    “He took as his motto: misfortune is good for something. How many good people have been able to say: misfortune is good for nothing!”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    ““The wonder is I didn’t see at once.
    I never noticed it from here before.
    I must be wonted to it that’s the reason.
    The little graveyard where my people are!...””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
