Famous quotes containing the words natives of and/or natives:

    “We are Christians by the same title as we are natives of Perigord or Germany.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Here was a little of everything in a small compass to satisfy the wants and the ambition of the woods,... but there seemed to me, as usual, a preponderance of children’s toys,—dogs to bark, and cats to mew, and trumpets to blow, where natives there hardly are yet. As if a child born into the Maine woods, among the pine cones and cedar berries, could not do without such a sugar-man or skipping-jack as the young Rothschild has.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
