People Quotes

The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government Picture Quote #1

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race Picture Quote #1

The business of America is business and the chief ideal of the American people is idealism Picture Quote #1

The appropriation of public money always is perfectly lovely until some one is asked to pay the bill. If we are to have a billion dollars of navy, half a billion of farm relief, etc. The people will have to furnish more revenue by paying more taxes. It is for them, through their Congress, to decide how far they wish to go Picture Quote #1

I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form Picture Quote #1

Parties do not maintain themselves. They are maintained by effort. The government is not self-existent. It is maintained by the effort of those who believe in it. The people of America believe in American institutions, the American form of government and the American method of transacting business Picture Quote #1

We draw our Presidents from the people. It is a wholesome thing for them to return to the people. I came from them. I wish to be one of them again Picture Quote #1

I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis upon the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement Picture Quote #1

Comparatively few people know what a million dollars actually is. To the majority it is a gaseous concept, swelling or decreasing as the occasion suggests Picture Quote #1

The government of the United States is a device for maintaining in perpetuity the rights of the people, with the ultimate extinction of all privileged classes Picture Quote #1

If I had my way books would not be written in English, but in an exceedingly difficult secret language that only skilled professional readers and story-tellers could interpret. Then people would have to go to public halls and pay good prices to hear Picture Quote #1

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort Picture Quote #1

The problem for a Paracelsian physician like me is that I see diseases as disguises in which people present me with their wretchedness Picture Quote #1

After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world Picture Quote #1

Art is always at peril in universities, where there are so many people, young and old, who love art less than argument, and dote upon a text that provides the nutritious pemmican on which scholars love to chew Picture Quote #1

The people who fear humour - and they are many - are suspicious of its power to present things in unexpected lights, to question received opinions and to suggest unforeseen possibilities Picture Quote #1

History does not teach fatalism. There are moments when the will of a handful of free men breaks through determinism and opens up new roads. People get the history they deserve Picture Quote #1

But want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hard ships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause else where than in want of money for that is the misers passion, not the thiefs Picture Quote #1

The leader must aim high, see big, judge widely, thus setting himself apart form the ordinary people who debate in narrow confines Picture Quote #1

I think we're living in an age which despises humanity and despises bravery and doesn't need bravery because modern warfare has rather gone beyond bravery. It is a kind of warfare where people are fighting enemies they never see, killing people of whom they know nothing Picture Quote #1

Humour very often consists of shrewd perceptions about people. It's usually fun at someone's expense. Nowadays if you're funny at anybody's expense they run to the UN and say, I must have an ombudsman to protect me. You hardly dare have a shrewd perception about anybody Picture Quote #1

I have against me the bourgeois, the military and the diplomats, and for me, only the people who take the Metro Picture Quote #1

Let people alone. Let them find their way. Let them find their level and you may sometimes be delighted and astonished at the extraordinary high level to which they'll rise if they're let alone Picture Quote #1

In too many modern churches there is no emphasis on theology at all. There is a kind of justification by works or by keeping up with modern trends - anything that will drag in a few more people Picture Quote #1

Such rebellion is too deep and too constant to express itself in picketing, marching, sitting-in or freaking out; it is the serious, unresting protest of serious people. It is 24-hours-a-day rebellion, not intermittent, showy, status-seeking public uproar. It is rebellion as a way of life Picture Quote #1

Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first Picture Quote #1

In an age where public health has never been better provided for, and medical men enjoy a respect formerly reserved for the aristocracy and the clergy, millions of people are unwell, or merely feel unwell, or are in dread lest at some future time they may become unwell Picture Quote #1

There are great numbers of people to whom the act of reading a book - any sort of book - is wondrous; they speak of the reader in the tone of warm approbation which they use otherwise when referring to pregnant women, or the newly dead Picture Quote #1

Foolish people laugh at those readers a century ago who wept over the novels of dickens. Is it a sign of superior intellect to read anything and everything unmoved, in a grey, unfeeling limbo? Picture Quote #1

People marry most happily with their own kind. The trouble lies in the fact that people usually marry at an age where they do not really know what their own kind is Picture Quote #1
