De Wert - People

Famous quotes containing the word people:

“Thirty-five years ago, when I was a college student, people wrote letters. The businessman who read, the lawyer who traveled; the dressmaker in evening school, my unhappy mother, our expectant neighbor: all conducted an often large and varied correspondence. It was the accustomed way of ordinarily educated people to occupy the world beyond their own small and immediate lives.”
—Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)

“Some people are born to fatness. Others have to get there.”
—Les Murray (b. 1938)

“Good people get cheated, just as good horses get ridden.”
—Chinese proverb.
