Johnny DeppKissing - and I mean like yummy smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do bar none. Better than sex hands down.

George CarlinFew people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good to the praise that deceives them.

Douglas AdamsAny people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.

Thomas SowellI have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.
Mark TwainAmericans are apocalyptic by nature. The reason why is that we've always had so much, so we live in deadly fear that people are going to take it away from us.
Stephen KingActing is the best medicine in the world - if you're not feeling well it goes away because you are busy thinking about something that isn't yourself. We actors are very fortunate people.
Ingrid BergmanAmericans are a quarter of a billion people who have almost nothing in common, except for the fact they've been told they have lots in common.
Doug CouplandWhat we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly I shall not seek and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as president.

Jane AustenBlessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching, but also without attempting to play God.

Charlie ChaplinIf I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

Thomas SowellUnity is vital for all wherever they are and whatever their country, religion or sex. Love should be the unifying force.

Chuck PalahniukUntil the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
Helen KellerExperience praises the most happy, the one who made the most people happy.
Karl MarxIf you lead the people with correctness who will dare not be correct?

Jane AustenA little learning indeed may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people.
Frederick DouglassIf you shoot for the stars and hit the moon it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.

Amelia BarrI'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.
William F. Buckley, Jr.I know why most people never get rich. They put the money ahead of the job. If you just think of the job, the money will automatically follow. This never fails.

Jane AustenSome people think of the glass as half full. Some people think of the glass as half empty. I think of the glass as too big.
George CarlinIf some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense.
Dalai LamaI'd like to be a queen in people's hearts, but I don't see myself being queen of this country.
Princess DianaPeople teach their dogs to sit, it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky.
Mitch HedbergPerhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Mark TwainAmericans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.
Andrew JacksonWhat is a danger is that we stay stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high, people who have jobs see their incomes go up, businesses make big profits. But they're learned to do more with less and so they don't hire.
Barack ObamaWe sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly all at once, before a word has been spoken.
