people (v.)
I have bought
Golden opinions from all sorts of people.
Good people all, with one accord,
Lament for Madam Blaize,
Who never wanted a good word
From those who spoke her praise.
A glass is good, and a lass is good,
And a pipe to smoke in cold weather;
The world is good, and the people are good,
And we 're all good fellows together.
The people arose as one man.
At leaving even the most unpleasant people
And places, one keeps looking at the steeple.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Some people are so fond of ill-luck that they run half-way to meet it.
I repeat . . . that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.
There is what I call the American idea. . . . This idea demands, as the proximate organization thereof, a democracy,—that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course, a government of the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God. For shortness' sake I will call it the idea of Freedom.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.
The chief-justice was rich, quiet, and infamous.
Most people judge men only by success or by fortune.
Our ancestors are very good kind of folks; but they are the last people I should choose to have a visiting acquaintance with.
The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.
The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.
You meaner beauties of the night,
That poorly satisfy our eyes
More by your number than your light;
You common people of the skies,—
What are you when the moon shall rise?
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
O great corrector of enormous times,
Shaker of o'er-rank states, thou grand decider
Of dusty and old titles, that healest with blood
The earth when it is sick, and curest the world
O' the pleurisy of people!
People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks.
The gay motes that people the sunbeams.
They that marry ancient people, merely in expectation to bury them, hang themselves in hope that one will come and cut the halter.
Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
Reviewers are usually people who would have been poets, historians, biographers, if they could; they have tried their talents at one or the other, and have failed; therefore they turn critics.
Happy the people whose annals are blank in history-books.
