People Spoke

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or spoke:

“I have often seen people uncivil by too much civility, and tiresome in their courtesy.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion; men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit; few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
