Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Politically, Swift was one of those people who are driven into a sort of perverse Toryism by the follies of the progressive party of the moment.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all the time.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “These people who are always briskly doing something and as busy as waltzing mice, they have little, sharp, staccato ideas.... But they have no slow, big ideas. And the fewer consoling, noble, shining, free, jovial, magnanimous ideas that come, the more nervously and desperately they rush and run from office to office and up and downstairs, thinking by action at last to make life have some warmth and meaning.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
