If you treat people right they will treat you right - ninety percent of the time.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Ambition is not a vice of little people.
Michel de Montaigne
People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.
Bill Cosby
I'd watched too many schoolmates graduate into mental institutions, into group homes and jails, and I knew that locking people up was paranormal - against normal, not beside it. Locks didn't cure; they strangled.
Scott Westerfeld
There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.
Benjamin Franklin
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
Three people can keep a secret so long as two of them are dead.
Benjamin Franklin
Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.
Dale Carnegie
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Dale Carnegie
When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.
Dale Carnegie
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
Dale Carnegie
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Dale Carnegie
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

Tom Peters
There are two kinds of people, those who finish what they start and so on.
Robert Byrne
A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.
John Updike
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.
Will Durant
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
In evaluating people, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. If you don't have the first, the other two will kill you.
Warren Buffett
The chief business of the American people is business.
Calvin Coolidge
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.
Calvin Coolidge
More people out of work leads to higher unemployment.`
Calvin Coolidge
Having been an English literary graduate, I've been trying to avoid the idea of doing art ever since. I think the idea of art kills creativity. I think media are at their most interesting before anybody's thought of calling them art, when people still think they're just a load of junk.
Douglas Adams
The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
Douglas Adams
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Douglas Adams
Even he, to whom most things that most people would think were pretty smart were pretty dumb, thought it was pretty smart.
Douglas Adams
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Douglas Adams
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.
Douglas Adams
All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.
James A. Garfield
...people are by nature fickle, and it is easy to persuade them of something, but difficult to keep them persuaded.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Once lead this people into war and they will forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance.
Woodrow Wilson
Just what is it that America stands for? If she stands for one thing more than another it is for the sovereignty of self-governing people.
Woodrow Wilson
Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.
Wayne Dyer
Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.
Leo Tolstoy
Once there was The People - Terror gave it birth; Once there was The People, and it made a hell of earth! Earth arose and crushed it. Listen, oh, ye slain! Once there was The People - it shall never be again!
Rudyard Kipling
All the people like us are we, And everyone else is They.
Rudyard Kipling
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.
Isak Dinesen
There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
Leonardo da Vinci
If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything.
Confucius
It does no harm just once in a while to acknowledge that the whole country isn't in flames, that there are people in the country besides politicians, entertainers, and criminals.
Charles Kuralt

Lewis Carroll
...people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
J. K. Rowling
It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.
Steve Jobs
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
Lewis Carroll
The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.
Steve Jobs
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
Steve Jobs
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Sir Francis Bacon
Praise from the common people is generally false, and rather follows the vain than the virtuous.
Sir Francis Bacon
As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.
Nelson Mandela
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
Nelson Mandela
We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our people to walk through those doors.
Lyndon B. Johnson
These people are very unskilled in arms ... with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished.
Christopher Columbus
Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people.
Kin Hubbard
Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation.
Kin Hubbard
Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.
Kin Hubbard
People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it.
Howard W. Newton
In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
John Ruskin
The entire object of true education, is to make people not merely do the right thing, but to enjoy right things; not merely industrious, but to love industry; not merely learned, but to love knowledge.
John Ruskin
People care more about being thought to have taste than about being good, clever, or amiable.
Samuel Butler
We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.
Jimmy Carter
My home is not a place, it is people.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically gettin killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus
If you're afraid of the future, then get out of the way, stand aside. The people of this country are ready to move again.
Ronald Reagan
People don't start wars, governments do.

G. K. Chesterton
How can people trust the harvest, unless they see it sown?
Mary Renault
A fool judges people by the presents they give him.

Randy K. Milholland
Not until just before dawn do people sleep best; not until people get old do they become wise.
Chinese Proverb
Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Some people go their whole life wondering if they ever made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.
Ronald Reagan
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
Sometimes people do things that hurt and it's not because they mean to. They just do. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with you, but you end up hurt because of it.
Randy K. Milholland
Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.
Ronald Reagan
It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
Most people enjoy the inferiority of their friends.
Lord Chesterfield
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Why do we have to wait for special moments to say nice things or tell people we care about them?
Randy K. Milholland
It's a tricky place, because these songs are our life and death. To have anything come between the people who buy the record and the songs themselves is really hard to hear as a musician.
Jon Foreman
Our heroes are people and people are flawed. Don't let that taint the thing you love.
Randy K. Milholland
Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves.
Lord Chesterfield
It's important that someone celebrate our existence... People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in. The domain of all meaning. All virtue, all evil, are contained only in people. There is none in the universe at large. Solitary confinement is a punishment in every human culture.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
George S. Patton
All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.
Cyril Connolly
I don't worry about getting old. I'm old already. Only young people worry about getting old. When I was 65 I had cupid's eczema. I don't believe in dying. It's been done. I'm working on a new exit. Besides, I can't die now - I'm booked.
George F. Burns
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.
William Arthur Ward
I checked with our infectious disease specialist and we've not had any cases here yet. So far so good I guess. We've had a number of people tested who came in with symptoms, but none of those were positive for flu.
John Atkinson
People age even when you're not looking.
Randy K. Milholland
Be wiser than other people, if you can, but do not tell them so.

Lord Chesterfield
A lot of people think 'Alice's Restaurant' was an anti-war song. It's not. It's an anti-idiot song.
Arlo Guthrie
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George F. Burns
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.
George F. Burns
Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people, to discourage them from ambitious attempts, and generally console them in their mediocrity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
As a musician I guess the only thing I would ask from a listener is to put the CD in, close your eyes and forget about all the peripherals. I guess that's a dream that may not happen in my lifetime, but I listen to music from all sorts of people and I think there is an open-minded individual who will be able to listen to music of all types.
Jon Foreman
Only a scientific people can survive in a scientific future.
Thomas H. Huxley
Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.
Robert Bresson
The art of a people is a true mirror of their minds.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There are people I know who won't hurt me. I call them corpses.
Randy K. Milholland
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.
Bob Newhart
He had learned over the years that poor people did not feel so poor when allowed to give occasionally.
Lawana Blackwell

Robert Henri
I think that we have to be aware that people are allowed to make mistakes in their life.
Christian Dior
You know, I'm not one of these people that just because I've done all that I now become Superman. You can't touch me. You know, you can touch me. I'm very, unfortunately, very reachable.
Paul Mccartney
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
Howard Aiken
There is no such thing as a homosexual or a heterosexual person. There are only homo -- or heterosexual acts. Most people are a mixture of impulses if not practices.

Gore Vidal
For certain people after 50, litigation takes the place of sex.
Gore Vidal
That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of the history of the whole world.
John Adams
Some people are that - more than a parent, more than a role model, more than anything less than a religion.
Margaret Cho
They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days.
Garrison Keillor
People say I'm indecisive, but I don't know about that.
George W. Bush
Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do 'em all together, I guess.
Elvis Presley
I learned that a great leader is a man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do and like it.
Harry S Truman
Half of the American people never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.
Gore Vidal
When people think the world of you, be careful with them.
Margaret Cho
I want to entertain people. That's my whole life. To my last breath.
Elvis Presley
What people say behind your back is your standing in the community.
Edgar Watson Howe
The good people sleep much better at night than the bad people. Of course, the bad people enjoy the waking hours much more.
Woody Allen
Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought- particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things.
Woody Allen
I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.
Margaret Cho
We deny your internationalism, because it is a luxury which only the upper classes can afford; the working people are hopelessly bound to their native shores.
Benito Mussolini
In no instance have . . . the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people.
James Madison
You have to forget about what other people say; when you're supposed to die, when you're supposed to be lovin'. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.
Jimi Hendrix
People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.
Margaret Cho
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself.
Steve Prefontaine
God is looking for people to use, and if you can get usable, he will wear you out, ... The most dangerous prayer you can pray is this: 'Use me.'
Frederick Warren
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Jimi Hendrix
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
James Madison
The Democratic Party is the party that opened its arms. We opened them to every nationality, every creed. We opened them to the immigrants. The Democratic Party is the party of the people.
Richard J. Daley
Sex between 2 people is a beautiful thing ; between 5 it's fantastic ...
Woody Allen
Many people would be more truthful were it not for their uncontrollable desire to talk.
Edgar Watson Howe
Your people, sir, is nothing but a great beast.
Alexander Hamilton
Many people seek after what they do not possess and are thus enslaved by the very things they want to acquire.
Anwar El sadat
There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there.
Erma Bombeck
I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.
Woody Allen
It gets down to core values, how you can live and keep things straight and maintain an even keel. It helps to listen to people who share how they've done it. It's an everlasting human story.
Robert Browning
It is hard to have patience with people who say 'There is no death' or 'Death doesn't matter.' There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
C. S. Lewis
Arguments only confirm people in their own opinions.
Booth Tarkington
Life is divided up into the horrible and the miserable. The horrible would be terminal cases, blind people, criples. The miserable is everyone else. When you go through life you should be thankful that you're miserable.
Woody Allen
There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'
C. S. Lewis
If God only used perfect people, nothing would get done, ... God will use anybody if you're available.
Frederick Warren
This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people.
C. S. Lewis
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war.... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest....
C. S. Lewis
Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.
Joseph Joubert
And he continued to stare at her, afflicted by the thought that where Beauty was, nothing ever ran quite straight, which, no doubt, was why so many people looked on it as immoral.
John Galsworthy
People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found by others.
Blaise Pascal
I envy people who drink - at least they know what to blame everything on.
Oscar Levant
Young people have an almost biological destiny to be hopeful.
Marshall Ganz
I envy people who drink. At least they have something to blame everything on.
Oscar Levant
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
Helen Keller
Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.
Blaise Pascal
Governments never learn. Only people learn.
Milton Friedman
The world is full of suffering but it is also full of people overcoming it.
Helen Keller
In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men's underwear.
Julia Child
The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace. But in the face of United States aggression they have risen up, united as one man.
Ho Chi Minh
This is just huge for that hour. People stayed with us all night. [Late night comedian] Jimmy Kimmel did a 15 rating at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Patrick Henry
My Duty is like that of a helmsman who must steer safely the boat - the Fatherland - through storms and take people to the shores of happiness.
Ho Chi Minh
I've never heard of any president being so close to his people.

The free expression of the hopes and aspirations of a people is the greatest and only safety in a sane society.
Emma Goldman
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
Hannah Arendt
The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
Patrick Henry
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world; it is God's gift to humanity.
George W. Bush
God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice. Our finest moments [as a nation] have come when we faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens, and for the people of other lands.
George W. Bush
I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.
George W. Bush
You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Beryl Markham
Literature is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none.
Jules Renard
Treat people as if they were what they should be, and you help them become what they are capable of becoming.

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.
