There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.[Il y a des êtres qui justifient le monde, qui aident à vivre par leur seule présence.]
There are people who make no mistakes because they never wish to do anything worth doing.
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating – people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.
There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.
There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
There are bad people everywhere, but among the bad there are some good one.[Везде есть люди дурные, а между дурными и хорошие.]
The world is not composed of heroes and villains, but of men and women with all the passions that God has given them. The ignorant condemn, but the wise pity.
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
The people who aren’t worried are the ones who will flunk.
The people seemed nearly ostentatious about minding their own business.
The people as a body are courageous, but individually they are cowardly and feeble.[La Plebe insieme è gagliarda, di per sé è debole.]
The only people I ever met who were sensible all the time were so boring that watching them could put you to sleep.
