TRUMAN GEORGE WASHINGTON, JOHN WAYNE OSCAR WILDE --- Let my people go. --Bible "Exodus" 5:1 The average person thinks he isn't. --Ambrose Bierce (1842—1914) American newspaperman, wit, and satirist. _The Cynic's Word Book_ [1906] (Retitled in 1911 as _The Devil's Dictionary_.) When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. --Dale Carnegie (1888—1955) American writer and lecturer. _How to Win Friends and Influence People_ [1936] I have found little that is "good" about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think. --Sigmund Freud (1856—1939) Austrian psychiatrist. Letter to Oskar Pfister [9 October 1918]. Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it. --attributed to Robert Frost (1874—1963) American poet. The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right. --Alexander Hamilton (1755or57—1804) New York delegate to the Constitutional Convention, major author of the _Federalist Papers_, and first secretary of the Treasury of the United States [1789—1795]. In a speech at the Constitutional Convention [18 June 1787]. Heaven have mercy on us all — Presbyterians and Pagans alike — for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending. --Herman Melville (1819—1891) American novelist and poet. _Moby Dick_ [1851] Ch. 17 "The Ramadan" The existence of most human beings is of absolutely no significance to history or to human progress. They live and die as anonymously and as nearly uselessly as so many bullfrogs or houseflies. They are, at best, undifferentiated slaves upon an endless assembly line, and at worse they are robots who leave their mark upon time only by occasionally falling into the machinery, and so incommodint their betters. --H.L. (Henry Louis) Mencken (1880—1956) American journalist and literary critic. People can be divided into three groups: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. --John Newbern [To his partner, W. Allen, on the dissolution of their business partnership:] All the world is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer. --Robert Owen (1771—1858) Welsh-born socialist reformer. Attributed in _The Houghton Mifflin Dictionary of Biography_ [2003]. The world is round. Only one-third of the human beings on earth are asleep at any one time, and two-thirds are awake and up to some mischief. --Dean Rusk (1909—1994) American politician. Drove up a newcomer in a covered wagon: "What kind of folks live around here?" "Well, stranger, what kind of folks was there in the country you come from?" "Well, they was mostly a lowdown, lying, thieving gossiping, backbiting kind lot of people." "Well, I guess, stranger, that's about the kind of folks you'll find around here." And the dusty gray stranger had just about blended into the dusty gray cottonwoods in a clump on the horizon when another newcomer drove up: "What kind of folks live around here?" "Well, stranger, what kind of folks was there in the country you come from?" "Well, they was mostly a decent, hardworking, lawabiding, friendly lot of people." "Well, I guess, stranger, that's about the kind of folks you'll find around here." --Carl Sandburg (1878—1967) American poet. _The People, Yes_ [1936] The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist. --attributed to George Bernard Shaw (1856—1950) Irish comic dramatist, literary critic, Socialist propagandist, and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925 [he didn't accept it.] end page | PACIFISM & PAIN | PAINTING - PARENTING | PARIS - PASSPORTS | PAST (THE) - PATRIOTISM | PEACE - PERCENTAGES | PEOPLE | PERCEPTIONS - PERSUASION | PESSIMISM - PHILOSOPHY | PHONIES - PHYSICS | PIANO - PLANS | PLACES | PLANTS - POETRY | POISON - POLITICAL PARTIES | POLITICS & POLITICIANS | POLLS - POPES | POPEYE - POTENTIAL | POVERTY | POWER | PRACTICALITY - PRAYER | PREACHERS - PREPARED (BE) | PRESENT (THE) - (THE) PRESS | PRETENTIONS - PRIVACY | PROBLEMS - PROGRESSIVES | PROGRESS - PROPAGANDA | PROPOSALS - PUBLIC (THE) | PUBLIC OPINION - PURPOSE (ON HAVING A) | QUALITIES - QUIPS | QUIRKS - QUOTATIONS | | H | I - J | K - L | M | N - O | P - Q | | Return Home | The Credits | The Cast | Act 1 | Act 2 | Act 3 | The Reviews | |
