Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Many people come into company full of what they intend to say in it themselves, without the least regard to others; and thus charged up to the muzzle are resolved to let it off at any rate.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population—the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it’s the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it’s the fools that form the overwhelming majority.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Everywhere I go I see increasing evidence of people swirling about in a human cesspit of their own making.”
—James Anderton (b. 1932)
