The nature of peoples is first crude, then severe, then benign, then delicate, finally dissolute.
The world is not for cowardly peoples.
People’s beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities.
We, the Jews, not only have degenerated and are located at the end of the path, we spoiled the blood of all the peoples of Europe. . . Jews are descended from a mixture of waste of all races.
People’s souls are like gardens. You can’t turn your back on someone because his garden’s full of weeds. You have to give him water and lots of sunshine.
A lot of people are burning' C. D. 's. There are a lot of people burnin' peoples stuff, and that hurts a lot of rappers.
To brand man with infamy, and let him free, is an absurdity that peoples our forests with assassins.
One of the basics of a good system of innovation is diversity. In some ways, the stronger the culture (national, institutional, generational, or other), the less likely it is to harbor innovative thinking. Common and deep-seated beliefs, widespread norms, and behavior and performance standards are enemies of new ideas. Any society that prides itself on being harmonious and homogeneous is very unlikely to catalyze idiosyncratic thinking. Suppression of innovation need not be overt. It can be simply a matter of peoples walking around in tacit agreement and full comfort with the status quo.
Anthropologists are a connecting link between poets and scientists; though their field-work among primitive peoples has often made them forget the language of science.

I looked at it [revolver] as if it reminded me of a crime I had committed with an irrepressible smile such as rises sometimes to people’s lips in the face of great catastrophes which are beyond their grasp, the smile that comes at times on certain women’s faces while they are saying they regret the harm they have done. It is the smile of nature quietly and proudly asserting its natural right to kill.
The central drama of our age is how the Western nations and the Asian peoples are to find a tolerable basis of co-existence.
The more pride we have, the more other people’s pride irritates us
Even the alleged benefits of war, so far as more than alleged, spring from the fact that conflict of peoples at least enforces intercourse between them and thus accidentally enables them to learn from one another, and thereby to expand their horizons. Travel, economic and commercial tendencies, have at present gone far to break down external barriers; to bring peoples and classes into closer and more perceptible connection with one another.
Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart.
It is not for us. . . to send out missionaries to foreign peoples; it is our task to build up our own Western culture.
Statesmen have to bend to the collective will of their peoples or be broken.
Worry not so much about other peoples morals but more about your own.
