Famous quotes containing the words people and/or chamber:
“Most people know no other way of judging men’s worth but by the vogue they are in, or the fortunes they have met with.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
—“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
