Motivational Quotes

People

If all power is in the people, if there is no higher law than their will, and if by counting their votes, their will may be ascertained -- then the people may entrust all their power to anyone, and the power of the pretender and the usurper is then legitimate. It is not to be challenged since it came originally from the sovereign people.
- Lippmann, Walter
People Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about People

1.
There are three kinds of people; those that make things happen, those that watch things happen and those who don't know what's happening.
Proverb, American

2.
We hold the view that the people make the best judgment in the long run.
Kennedy, John F.

3.
There are two kinds of people; those who can count and those who can't.

4.
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, There you are and those who say, Here I am
Van Buren, Abigail

5.
The public is a ferocious beast. One must either chain it up or flee from it.
Voltaire

6.
I hate the irreverent rabble and keep them far from me.
Horace

7.
There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I don't mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, that's the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.
Steinbeck, John

8.
People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser, and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic.
Ruskin, John

9.
There are people who in spite of their merit disgust us, and others who please us in spite of their faults.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

10.
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.
Lawrence, D. H.

11.
The person who can be only serious or only cheerful, is but half a man.
Hunt, Leigh

12.
The people long eagerly for just two things. Bread and circuses.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

13.
Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad; the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.
Horace

14.
You know about a person who deeply interests you more than you can be told. A look, a gesture, an act, which to everybody else is insignificant tells you more about that one than words can.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
All the people like us are We, and everyone else is They.
Kipling, Rudyard

16.
The south produced statesmen and soldiers, planters and doctors and lawyers and poets, but certainly no engineers and mechanics. Let Yankees adopt such low callings. [Gone With The Wind]
Mitchell, Margaret

17.
That you may please others you must be forgetful of yourself.
Ovid

18.
People will teach you how to sell them if you'll pay attention to the messages they send you.

19.
Men often treat others worse than they treat themselves, but they rarely treat anyone better. It is the height of folly to expect consideration and decency from a person who mistreats himself.
Szasz, Thomas

20.
There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy.
Pascal, Blaise

21.
The people are to be taken in small doses.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart; and his friends could only read the title, James Spalding, or Charles Budgeon, and the passengers going the opposite way could read nothing at all -- save a man with a red moustache, a young man in gray smoking a pipe.
Woolf, Virginia

23.
Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. Each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind; that is, he seeks other men, and the rest.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
When you have a taste for exceptional people, you always end up meeting them everywhere.
Orlan, Mac

25.
I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

26.
Unhurt people are not much good in the world.
Starkie, Enid

27.
The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.
Woolf, Virginia

28.
The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.
Zedong, Mao

29.
The time comes when each one of us has to give up as illusions the expectations which, in his youth, he pinned upon his fellow-men, and when he may learn how much difficulty and pain has been added to his life by their ill-will.
Freud, Sigmund

30.
A person well satisfied with themselves is seldom satisfied with others, and others, rarely are with them.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

31.
What we know of other people's only our memory of the moments during which we knew them.
Eliot, T. S.

32.
We are all what we pretend to be, but, we had better be very careful what we pretend.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

33.
If one had to worry about one's actions in respect of other people's ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.
Crowley, Aleister

34.
Any man who does not see everything in terms of self, that is to say who wants to be something in respect of other men, to do good to them or simply give them something to do, is unhappy, disconsolate, and accursed.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

35.
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.
Frank, Anne

36.
If all power is in the people, if there is no higher law than their will, and if by counting their votes, their will may be ascertained -- then the people may entrust all their power to anyone, and the power of the pretender and the usurper is then legitimate. It is not to be challenged since it came originally from the sovereign people.
Lippmann, Walter

37.
We demand that people should be true to the pictures we have of them, no matter how repulsive those pictures may be: we prefer the true portrait in all its homogeneity, to one with a detail added which refuses to fit in.
Johnson, Pamela Hansford

38.
Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.
Howells, William Dean

39.
No matter where or what, there are makers, takers, and fakers.
Heinlein, Robert

40.
What's important is promising something to the people, not actually keeping those promises. The people have always lived on hope alone.
Broch, Hermann

41.
Some people are electrifying, they light up a room when they leave.
Proverb, Yiddish

42.
In each of us there is a little of all of us.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

43.
But we are the people of England; and we have not spoken yet. Smile at us, pay us, pass us. But do not quite forget.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

44.
We have no higher life that is really apart from other people. It is by imagining them that our personality is built up; to be without the power of imagining them is to be a low-grade idiot.
Cooley, Charles Horton

45.
I wonder if we are all wrong about each other, if we are just composing unwritten novels about the people we meet?
West, Rebecca

46.
There are two types of people. Those we who come into a room and say, Well, here I am! and those who come in and say, Ah, there you are.
Collins, Frederick L.

47.
The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.
Hemingway, Ernest

48.
Only a few human beings should grow to the square mile; they are commonly planted too close.
Davis, William T.
