Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “I would have these good people to recollect, that the laws of this country hold out to foreigners an offer of all that liberty of the press which Americans enjoy, and that, if this liberty be abridged, by whatever means it may be done, the laws and the constitution, and all together, is a mere cheat; a snare to catch the credulous and enthusiastic of every other nation; a downright imposition on the world.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    “When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “When people are in trouble they need to talk.”
    —A.I. (Albert Isaac)
