Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.”
    —Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)

    “It’s even pleasant to be sick when you know that there are people who await your recovery as they might await a holiday.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
