Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Because one has little fear of shocking vanity in Italy, people adopt an intimate tone very quickly and discuss personal things.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better.... Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)
