Famous quotes containing the words people and/or aged:
“I believe a man is born first unto himself—for the happy developing of himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted; some people seem to exist thus right to the end. But most are born again on entering manhood; then they are born to humanity, to a consciousness of all the laughing, and the never-ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the terrible multitudes of brothers.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Beneath them sit the aged men, wise guardians of the poor;
Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
