Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or people:

    To be rich nowadays merely means to possess a large number of poor objects.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    Constitutional statutes ... which embody the settled public opinion of the people who enacted them and whom they are to govern—can always be enforced. But if they embody only the sentiments of a bare majority, pronounced under the influence of a temporary excitement, they will, if strenuously opposed, always fail of their object; nay, they are likely to injure the cause they are framed to advance.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
