We like so much to hear people talk of us and of our motives, that we are charmed even when they abuse us.
Marie de Sevigne
People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.
James Baldwin
There are people who are always anticipating trouble, and in this way they manage to enjoy many sorrows that never really happen to them
Josh Billings
Is it to be thought unreasonable that the people, in atonement for wrongs of a century, demand the vengeance of a single day?
Maximilien Robespierre
Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have
Edward Everett Hale
People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them
George Bernard Shaw
Troubles are a lot like people - they grow bigger if you nurse them

The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.
Benjamin Haydon
Drama is something people go through everyday. Change of character is nothing more than mood swings.
Kewana Bagby
The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work
Robert Frost
Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.
Arthur Gordon
People are giving birth underwater now. They say it's less traumatic for the baby because it's in water. But certainly more traumatic for the other people in the pool
Elayne Boosler
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am a person who looks long-term, and I recognize the path we need to take. There will be moments when people are unhappy and disgruntled with some decision-making. Nonetheless, what matters most is to reach the destination. And my job as President is to see clearly where I want to go and be steadfast in my resolve to realize that vision.
George W. Bush
