Mao Zedong quotes
The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
Mao Zedong quotes
Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.

The invention of the teenager was a mistake.Once you identify a period of life in which people get to stay out late but don't have to pay taxes - naturally, nobody wants to live any other way.
Henry Miller quotes
Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing. Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
George Moore quotes

Francois De La Rochefoucauld quotes

Francois De La Rochefoucauld quotes

Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.
Robert Louis Stevenson quotes
Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.

William J. Blake quotes
Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.

It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.
William J. Blake quotes

Albert Einstein quotes

Henry Ford quotes
Many people think that by hoarding money they are gaining safety for themselves. if money is your ONLY hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a person can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. Without these qualities, money is practically useless.
Henry Ford quotes
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
Henry Ford quotes
An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
Anne Frank quotes
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.
Anne Frank quotes
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
Anne Frank quotes
And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.
Anne Frank quotes
I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.

William Hazlitt quotes
The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be.
William Hazlitt quotes
People of genius do not excel in any profession because they work in it, they work in it because they excel.
Alfred Hitchcock quotes
Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.
John F. Kennedy quotes
People have not been horrified by war to a sufficient extent... War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige as the warrior does today.
Samuel Johnson quotes
Poverty is often concealed in splendor, and often in extravagance. It is the task of many people to conceal their neediness from others. Consequently they support themselves by temporary means, and everyday is lost in contriving for tomorrow.
D.H Lawrence quotes
One can no longer live with people: it is too hideous and nauseating. Owners and owned, they are like the two sides of a ghastly disease.
Robert E. Lee quotes
We have fought this fight as long, and as well as we know how. We have been defeated. For us as a Christian people, there is now but one course to pursue. We must accept the situation.
George Bernard Shaw quotes
The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilization. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity and beauty. Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.

Ayn Rand quotes
Compromise does not satisfy, but dissatisfies everybody; it does not lead to any general fulfillment, but to general frustration; those who try to become everything to all people end up by not being anything to anyone.
Carl Sagan quotes
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
Alexander Haig quotes
It didn't take long for the world to realize that the Shah was an enlightened liberal next to the bloody reactionary regime that followed, and which executed more people in three months than the Shah had done in 30 years.
Sun Tzu quotes
Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.
Sid Vicious quotes
When there are no more categorizations; when there are no more "niggers", when there are no more "whites", when there`s just "people", you know, when there`s no more "punks" when there`s no more "dirt", that is when everything is gonna be OK

The reason why so few people are agreeable in conversation is that each is thinking more about what he intends to say than others are saying.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld quotes
We would frequently be ashamed of our good deeds if people saw all of the motives that produced them.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld quotes
There are people who in spite of their merit disgust us, and others who please us in spite of their faults.

Bertrand Russell quotes
Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do.
Arthur Schopenhauer quotes
Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another's money. Idiots!
George Bernard Shaw quotes
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Robert Louis Stevenson quotes
Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.
Robert Louis Stevenson quotes
Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.

We reproach people for talking about themselves; but it is the subject they treat best.
Lucille Ball quotes
Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work -- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
Robert Benchley quotes
Drinking makes such fools of people, and people are such fools to begin with, that it's compounding a felony.
Robert Benchley quotes

I love to hold people's hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven't experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.
Princess Diana quotes
I've always though that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them, to provide some light along the way.
Princess Diana quotes
I think the biggest disease this world suffers from...is people feeling unloved.
Princess Diana quotes
The people that I care about are the people out there on the street. I can identify with them.

Princess Diana quotes
No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said, "This is what is expected of you. But... I'm lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role... I love being with people."
William J. Blake quotes
Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.

William J. Blake quotes
It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.
William J. Blake quotes
The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes, rather than their minds.
Albert Einstein quotes
In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.
Albert Einstein quotes
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Henry Ford quotes
Many people think that by hoarding money they are gaining safety for themselves. if money is your ONLY hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a person can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. Without these qualities, money is practically useless.
Henry Ford quotes
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
Henry Ford quotes
An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
Anne Frank quotes
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.
Anne Frank quotes
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
Anne Frank quotes
And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.
Anne Frank quotes
I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.

William Hazlitt quotes
The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be.
William Hazlitt quotes
People of genius do not excel in any profession because they work in it, they work in it because they excel.
Alfred Hitchcock quotes
Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.
John F. Kennedy quotes
People have not been horrified by war to a sufficient extent... War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige as the warrior does today.
Samuel Johnson quotes
Poverty is often concealed in splendor, and often in extravagance. It is the task of many people to conceal their neediness from others. Consequently they support themselves by temporary means, and everyday is lost in contriving for tomorrow.
D.H Lawrence quotes
One can no longer live with people: it is too hideous and nauseating. Owners and owned, they are like the two sides of a ghastly disease.
Robert E. Lee quotes
We have fought this fight as long, and as well as we know how. We have been defeated. For us as a Christian people, there is now but one course to pursue. We must accept the situation.
George Bernard Shaw quotes
The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilization. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity and beauty. Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.

Ayn Rand quotes
Compromise does not satisfy, but dissatisfies everybody; it does not lead to any general fulfillment, but to general frustration; those who try to become everything to all people end up by not being anything to anyone.
Carl Sagan quotes
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
Alexander Haig quotes
It didn't take long for the world to realize that the Shah was an enlightened liberal next to the bloody reactionary regime that followed, and which executed more people in three months than the Shah had done in 30 years.
George Patton quotes
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
George Patton quotes
Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.
Winston Churchill quotes
The maxim of the British people is 'Business as usual'
Winston Churchill quotes
I have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
Winston Churchill quotes
Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.

Anon quotes
If we let people see that kind of thing, there would never again be any war. Pentagon official, on why US military censored graphic footage from the Gulf War
Mao Zedong quotes
The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
Mao Zedong quotes
The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
Mao Zedong quotes
Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.
Mao Zedong quotes

Judith Martin quotes
1938 - onwards
The invention of the teenager was a mistake.Once you identify a period of life in which people get to stay out late but don't have to pay taxes - naturally, nobody wants to live any other way.
Henry Miller quotes
Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing. Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
George Moore quotes
A literary movement consists of five or six people who live in the same town and hate each other cordially.
John Morley quotes
Many people think of knowledge as money, They would like knowledge, but do not want to face the perseverance and self-denial that goes into the acquisition of it.
Ovid quotes
People are slow to believe that, which if believed would work them harm.
Ovid quotes
In our leisure we reveal what kind of people we are.
