Famous quotes containing the word people:

    Most people ignore most poetry
    because
    most poetry ignores most people.
    Adrian Mitchell (b. 1932)

    The best way to compel weak-minded people to adopt our opinion, is to frighten them from all others, by magnifying their danger.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
