Famous quotes containing the word people:
“I thought that’s what this war was about. Making people pay taxes when they didn’t have no say so about it.”
—Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)

—Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
“No people do so much harm as those who go about doing good.”
—Mandell Creighton (1843–1901)
