People Quotes (page 773)

I could never have been a pacifist. To kill a man was surely to grant him an immeasurable benefit. Oh yes, people always, everywhere, loved their enemies. It was their friends they preserved for pain and vacuity. Graham Greene
If we were always conscious of the fact that people precious to us are frighteningly mortal, hanging not even by a thread, but by a wisp of gossamer, perhaps we would be kinder to them and more grateful for the love and friendship they give to us. Dean Koontz
John C. Maxwell quote: "You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you..."
You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them. John C. Maxwell
(...) being right all the time acquires a huge importance in education, and there is this terror of being wrong. The ego is so tied to being right that later on in life you are reluctant to accept that you are ever wrong, because you are defending not the idea but your self-esteem. (...) this terror of being wrong means that people have enormous difficulties in changing ideas. Edward de Bono
There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead. I don't feel like a satan but I guess I am...keep on rockin' the free world. Neil Young

Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out Art Linkletter

Marianne Williamson quote: "available people are the ones who are dangerous, because they..."
...available people are the ones who are dangerous, because they confront us with the possibility of real intimacy. Marianne Williamson
William Dean Howells quote: "Some people stay longer in an hour than others do in a month."
Some people stay longer in an hour than others do in a month. William Dean Howells
Up there we see everything, Oakland to the left, El Cerrito and Richmond to the right, Marin forward, over the Bay, Berkeley below, all red rooftops and trees of cauliflower and columbine, shaped like rockets and explosions, all those people below us, with humbler views; we see the Bay Bridge, clunkety, the Richmond Bridge, straight, low, the Golden Gate, red toothpicks and string, the blue between, the blue above, the gleaming white Land of the Lost/Superman's North Pole Getaway magic... Dave Eggers
Not everyone is willing to embrace liberty; liberty requires not just effort, but risk. Some people choose to delude themselves and see their chains as protective armor. Terry Goodkind
I will not fall for any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment phobics, people with girlfriends or wives, misogynists, megalomanics, chauvists, emotional fuckwits or freeloaders, perverts. Helen Fielding
But it gradually seemed to me that I'd made myself believe something that wasn't true. I'd made myself believe that I was fine and happy and fulfilled on my own without the love of anyone else. Being in love was like China: you knew it was there, and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there, but I never would. I'd spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn't matter, because there was all the rest of the world to visit... And I thought: am I really going... Philip Pullman
