Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Hard work. Well, that’s all right for people who don’t know how to do anything else. It’s all right for people who aren’t lucky. But once you’re lucky, you don’t have to work for other people. You make them work for you.”
    —Dan Totheroh (1895–1976)

    “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 16:4.

    “Writing is more than anything a compulsion, like some people wash their hands thirty times a day for fear of awful consequences if they do not. It pays a whole lot better than this type of compulsion, but it is no more heroic.”
    —Julie Burchill (b. 1960)
