Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Sin has always been an ugly word, but it has been made so in a new sense over the last half-century. It has been made not only ugly but passé. People are no longer sinful, they are only immature or underprivileged or frightened or, more particularly, sick.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    “There are people who laugh to show their fine teeth; and there are those who cry to show their good hearts.”
    —Joseph Roux (1834–1886)

    “Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.”
    —Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
