Famous quotes containing the word people:
“So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“With most people disbelief in a thing is founded on a blind belief in some other thing.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“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)
