When you see the Earth from space you don't see any divisions of nation-states there. This may be the symbol of the new mythology to come, this is the country we will celebrate and these are the people we are one with.
Joseph CampbellAre we aware of our obligations to a mob? It is the mob that labor in your fields and serve in your houses -- that man your navy and recruit your army -- that have enabled you to defy the world and can also defy you when neglect and calamity have driven them to despair. You may call the people a mob, but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.
Lord ByronI've always taught that a poor economy is the best opportunity for salespeople because the naysayers and grumblers have already given up leaving more territory more opportunities to be successful than in a good economy when virtually all salespeople are out there giving it their best.

Albert EinsteinIt is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
Noel CowardPeople love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.
Albert EinsteinPeople wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
Marcel ProustIf a prospective Presidential approach can't be explained clearly enough to be understood well it probably hasn't been thought through well enough. If not well understood by the American people it probably won't "sail" anyway. Send it back for further thought.

Francois de La RochefoucauldThe first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
Karl MarxHe scratched his ear the infallible resource to which embarrassed people have recourse.
Lord ByronSecurity is I would say our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives staying in touch with people being creative - if we don't solve these security problems then people will hold back.
Bill GatesThe Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.
Dalai LamaI think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.
Marilyn MansonPeople don't really bother me as much as you might think.
Tiger WoodsI like doing radio because it's so intimate. The moment people hear your voice you're inside there heads not only that you're in there laying eggs.
Doug CouplandPresident Obama's view of a free economy is to send your money to his friends. My vision for a free enterprise economy is to return entrepreneurship and genius and creativity to the American people!
Mitt RomneySometimes in public life people ask inappropriate off-the-wall kinds of questions, don't they?
Hillary ClintonOn every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
Barack ObamaPeople always make war when they say they love peace.
David Herbert LawrencePeople react to fear not love, they don't teach that in Sunday School but it's true.

Tiger WoodsMuch literary criticism comes from people for whom extreme specialization is a cover for either grave cerebral inadequacy or terminal laziness the latter being a much cherished aspect of academic freedom.
John Kenneth GalbraithTo be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom everything else is poverty.
Hedy LamarrThe last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerWe have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades the desire and the will but not the money can still get the best education possible.
Barack ObamaFree enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty to help build a strong middle class to help educate our kids and to make our lives better than all the programs of government combined.
Mitt RomneyDo we believe that the goal of government is to promote equal opportunity for all Americans to make the most of their lives? Or do we now believe that government's role is to equalize the results of peoples lives?
Paul RyanThere will also be some people who concentrate their attention on the rituals of worship and the offerings being made such as the breaking of coconuts the waving of lamps and incense and the devotion expressed through these rituals. The number of people with this kind of vision and interest will be much smaller than those who concentrate on the decorations the dances and dramas and all the external paraphernalia associated with the festival.
Sai BabaIt is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Thomas CarlyleMy family frankly they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
Barack ObamaDo you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
Blaise PascalWhen the first big paycheque with 'Dumb And Dumber' hit I went: 'Gosh I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think was that worth $7 million?' But that never happened. If anything it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe.
Jim CarreyOur society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John LennonPeople do not understand what a great revenue economy is.
Marcus Tullius CiceroIf people really liked to work we'd still be plowing the land with sticks and transporting goods on our backs.

Leo TolstoyThe good of the people is the greatest law.
Marcus Tullius CiceroThis soul or life within us by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.
Virginia WoolfEmployers and business leaders need people who can think for themselves - who can take initiative and be the solution to problems.
Stephen CoveyMahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of his law. The people assembled. Mahomet called the hill to come to him again and again, and when the hill stood still he was never a whit abashed but said 'If the hill will not come to Mahomet Mahomet will go to the hill'.
Francis BaconThings have become devalued to the point where people don't realize the repercussions that they're devaluing themselves. It could end up bringing about chaos a lawless situation.
Marilyn MansonFor me there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie.
Will SmithTelling people they look relaxed makes them look relaxed.
Doug CouplandPeople write negatives things cause they feel that's what sells. Good news to them doesn't sell.

David BrinkleyBe smarter than other people just don't tell them so.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.
Jim CarreyIf my poetry aims to achieve anything it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.
Jim MorrisonThere is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.
C. S. LewisNo government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.

James Russell LowellWhen rich people fight wars with one another poor people are the ones to die.
Jean-Paul SartrePeople think that at the top there isn't much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.
Margaret ThatcherI can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way.
Hedy LamarrPeople are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others.
Blaise PascalMarriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.
Katharine HepburnThree-quarters of the sicknesses of intelligent people come from their intelligence. They need at least a doctor who can understand this sickness.
Marcel ProustThe American people abhor a vacuum.
Theodore RooseveltThe people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.
Abraham LincolnThe animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white or women created for men.
Alice WalkerPeople should make up their own mind about what they think of me.

Doug CouplandWe don't get to know people when they come to us, we must go to them to find out what they are like.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWe don't want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people into complacency and dependence.
Paul RyanWhen the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing more to fear from them then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader.

Richard M. NixonThe fact is that people are good Give people affection and security and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.
Abraham MaslowFreedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
George OrwellLiberalism is I think resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative.

Warren BuffettI understand everybody in this country doesn't agree with the decisions I've made. And I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand.

Charles SpurgeonI think the world would be a lot better off if more people were to define themselves in terms of their own standards and values and not what other people said or thought about them.
Hillary ClintonI worked in a pet store and people would ask how big I would get.
Rodney DangerfieldYou can't just have slogans you can't just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do if it's going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see touch and actually believe in and something they believe in.
Colin PowellIf some people didn't tell you you'd never know they'd been away on a vacation.
Kin HubbardThe serpent may without being poisonous raise high its hood but the show of terror is enough to frighten people -- whether he be venomous or not.
ChanakyaWell yes I've fired a lot of people. Generally I like other people to fire because it's always a lousy task. But I have fired many people.
Donald TrumpIt's no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment.
Walt DisneyI found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.
Rodney DangerfieldThe Divine Will operating through the force of love does all this. For example though there are thousands gathered here absolute silence prevails. Under what compulsion? Only the compulsion of love. In other places where a hundred people collect a hundred and fifty constables are present to keep them quiet.
Sai BabaWe proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges.
Barack ObamaNever make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Donald RumsfeldRich White Men Don't Care About Poor Black People
George CarlinPolitical tags - such as royalist communist democrat populist fascist liberal conservative and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
Robert A. HeinleinThe least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings.
Thomas SowellKarate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can using only their hands and feet make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.

Dwight L. MoodyThe little people must be sacred to the big ones and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.
Victor HugoWhat exactly is it that humans do that is specifically human? There has to be something. How odd it is for billions of people to be alive yet not one of them is really quite sure of what makes people people.

SocratesEstrangement shows itself precisely in the elimination of distance between people.
Theodor W. AdornoBarack Obama's enemies are the people who make this country work. Barack Obama's enemies are those who succeed. Those are the people whose income he wants to redistribute. Those are the people whose income he wants to take using the power and the force of the federal government to do it.
Rush LimbaughExamples would indeed be excellent things were not people so modest that none will set and so vain that none will follow them.
Augustus HareWhen dealing with people remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic but creatures of emotion.
Dale CarnegieThis day the Government has no authority to reform the people, and the people have no authority the reform the Government.
Sai BabaI don't like to talk much with people who always agree with me. It is amusing to coquette with an echo for a little while but one soon tires of it.
Thomas CarlyleIt becomes still more difficult to reconcile Japanese action with prudence or even sanity. What kind of people do they think we are?
Winston ChurchillPeople often say that motivation doesn't last. Well neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
Zig ZiglarI'm very protective of how much I let people see.
Christina AguileraDemocracy is a process by which people are free to choose the man who will get the blame.
Laurence J. PeterAt the end of the day you know love does not happen between two perfect people as much as we would wish.

Rush LimbaughWinners are people with definite purpose in life.
Denis WaitleyPeople who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.

Lord ByronBorn poor but of honored and humble people I am particularly proud to die poor.
Pope John XXIIIThe government which was designed for the people has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
Woodrow WilsonPeople would ask me to autograph their bodies and then the next time I'd see them on tour they'd have my autograph tattooed. I decided I wouldn't write on people anymore but I'd give them arms and legs and if they wanted those autographed I'd do that.
Chuck PalahniukMost people have no idea how to politely answer a phone. The English do and it's been their only major business advantage for the past two centuries.
Doug CouplandReligions get lost as people do.
Franz KafkaWhat is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road don't expect freedom to survive very long.
Thomas SowellI'm entirely interested in people and also other creatures and beings but especially in people and I tend to read them by emotional field more than anything. So I have a special interest in what they're thinking and who they are and who's hiding behind those eyes and how did he get there and what's the story really?
Alice WalkerIn heaven all the interesting people are missing.
Friedrich NietzscheMost people are not particularly good at anything

Christina AguileraPeople sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
George OrwellThe well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.
Oscar WildeYou hear the best stories from ordinary people. That sense of immediacy is more real to me than a lot of writerly literary-type crafted stories. I want that immediacy when I read a novel.
Chuck PalahniukOur task your task... is to try to connect the dots before something happens. People say 'Well where's the smoking gun?' Well we don't want to see a smoking gun from a weapon of mass destruction.
Donald RumsfeldMost people are willing to take the Sermon on the Mount as a flag to sail under but few will use it as a rudder by which to steer.
Oliver Wendell HolmesNo one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve JobsI do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
Albert EinsteinWith our technology with objects literally three people in a garage can blow away what 200 people at Microsoft can do. Literally can blow it away. Corporate America has a need that is so huge and can save them so much money or make them so much money or cost them so much money, if they miss it that they are going to fuel the object revolution.
Steve JobsThe people of Wisconsin have been good to me. I've tried to live up to their trust. And now I ask those hardworking men and women and millions like them across America to join our cause and get this country working again. When Governor Romney asked me to join the ticket I said 'Let's get this done' - and that is exactly what we're going to do.
Paul RyanWhen writing a novel a writer should create living people, people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest HemingwayWhat old people say you cannot do you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people and new deeds for new.

John D. RockefellerWill the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John LennonReligion is regarded by the common people as true by the wise as false and by the rulers as useful.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaPeople are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what's wrong with it.
Noel CowardPeople are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
PlatoOther lands have their vitality in a few a class but we have it in the bulk of our people.
Walt WhitmanThe power of the periodical press is second only to that of the people.
Alexis de TocquevillePeople who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false a gift confers no rights.

Hillary ClintonMedicines are only fit for old people.
Napoleon BonaparteSome people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.
Oliver Wendell HolmesYou should not stay for even one second at a place where people are speaking disrespectfully of a saint.

W. C. FieldsPeople that are conceited of their own merit take pride in being unfortunate that themselves and others may think them considerable enough to be the envy and the mark of fortune.
Francois de La RochefoucauldThe moderation of people in prosperity is the effect of a smooth and composed temper owing to the calm of their good fortune.
Francois de La RochefoucauldAn idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
Henry FordThe ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.
John D. RockefellerThis is a government takeover of our healthcare system. It is the government basically running the entire healthcare system turning large insurers into de facto public utilities depriving people of choice depriving people of options raising people's prices raising taxes when we need new jobs.
Paul RyanLiberals seem to assume that if you don't believe in their particular political solutions then you don't really care about the people that they claim to want to help.
Thomas SowellOver the years I've seen people lose a spouse and then withdraw and lose interest in life and I believe we need to resist that.
Billy GrahamSome people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.
William FeatherAs far as I'm concerned the people who aren't paying taxes don't get to run around claiming that they built everything, that they built the roads and that they built the bridges and so forth.
Rush LimbaughLife could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
Charlie ChaplinThere is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people of the people and for the people.
Ray BradburyI was so thrilled being a reporter because it gave you the kind of access to people that you wouldn't ever get to meet.
Tom StoppardIf you asked me to name the three scariest threats facing the human race I would give the same answer that most people would: nuclear war global warming and Windows.
Dave BarrySo much value has been lost in the housing market that people are now buying. If there's any activity in the housing market it's because values have plummeted to such depths that the 47% can now afford to live in a government-purchased house or something like that.
Rush LimbaughWe the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

Jim CarreyThe production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.
Karl MarxGood people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly while bad people will find a way around the laws.
PlatoThese people who come to Comic-Con and dress up - all across the country the rest of the population who doesn't understand are scoffing at them.
William ShatnerOh I think there are a lot of people who would be buying and selling online today that go up there and they get the information but then when it comes time to type in their credit card they think twice because they're not sure about how that might get out and what that might mean for them.
Bill GatesChinese people themselves they really want change.
Dalai LamaWhen people are taken out of their depths they lose their heads no matter how charming a bluff they may put up.
F. Scott FitzgeraldPeople forget... that we structured it so that the government or the people would be repaid with a really good rate of return. And as it turns out that aspect of TARP that's what happened.
George W. BushThe deeds you do today may be the only sermon some people will hear today.
Francis of AssisiI don't know what my calling is but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.
Will SmithI am a world-class weenie when it comes to letting people stick needles into me. My subconscious mind firmly believes that if God had wanted us to have direct access to our bloodstreams He would have equipped our skin with small clearly marked doors.
Dave BarryBypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C being a point directly in between are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be.
Douglas AdamsTo understand the nature of the people one must be a prince and to understand the nature of the prince one must be of the people.
Niccolo Machiavelli
