For The People Quotes (page 161)

People will want you to behave a certain way, to make a certain choice because it reinforces the way they see the world...But you have to do what's right for you. Jennifer Weiner
People who carry in their hearts a strong conviction concerning the living reality of the Almighty and their accountability to Him for what they do with their lives are far less likely to become enmeshed in problems that inevitably weaken society. Gordon B. Hinckley
The man who truly and disinterestedly enjoys any one thing in the world, for its own sake, and without caring two-pence what other people say about it, is by that very fact forewarmed against some of our subtlest modes of attack. C. S. Lewis
People don't want to think. And the deeper they get into trouble, the less they want to think. But by some sort of instinct, they feel that they ought to and it makes them feel guilty. So they'll bless and follow anyone who gives them a justification for not thinking. Anyone who makes a virtue - a highly intellectual virtue - out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt. Ayn Rand
The old hunger for voyages fed at his heart....To go alone...into strange cities; to meet strange people and to pass again before they could know him; to wander, like his own legend, across the earth--it seemed to him there could be no better thing than that. Thomas Wolfe
The world - whatever we might think when terrified by its vastness and our own impotence, or embittered by its indifference to individual suffering, of people, animals, and perhaps even plants, for why are we so sure that plants feel no pain; whatever we might think of its expanses pierced by the rays of stars surrounded by planets we've just begun to discover, planets already dead? still dead? we just don't know; whatever we might think of this measureless theater to which we've got reserved... Wislawa Szymborska
For if there are (at a venture) seventy-six different times all ticking in the mind at once, how many different people are there not? Heaven help us? all having lodgment at one time or another in the human spirit? Virginia Woolf
The single hardest thing for a practicing politician to understand is that most people, most of the time, don’t give politics a first thought all day long. Tony Blair
The plain working truth is that it is not only good for people to be shocked occasionally, but absolutely necessary to the progress of society that they should be shocked pretty often. George Bernard Shaw
Carl Jung quote: "The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able..."
The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories. Carl Jung
The more rules you have about how people have to be, how life has to be for you to be happy, the less happy you're going to be. Tony Robbins
Alain de Botton quote: "The more people you have to ask for permission, the more..."
The more people you have to ask for permission, the more dangerous a project gets. Alain de Botton
The search for contentment is, therefore, not merely a self-preserving and self-benefiting act, but also a generous gift to the world. You cease being an obstacle, not only to yourself but to anyone else. Only then are you free to serve and enjoy other people. Elizabeth Gilbert
For life is terribly deficient in form. Its catastrophes happen in the wrong way and to the wrong people. There is a grotesque horror about its comedies, and its tragedies seem to culminate in farce. Oscar Wilde
The whole notion of the nursing home was something dreamed up by people like my mother; American women with sunglasses, always searching for their tanning lotion or cigarette lighters. David Sedaris
