Famous quotes containing the word people:

    I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
    Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)

    It was not exactly a hairdresser’s; that is to say, people of a coarse and vulgar turn of mind might have called it a barber’s; for they not only cut and curled ladies elegantly, and children carefully, but shaved gentlemen easily.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
