Famous quotes containing the words cherokee, culture and/or marriage:

    A Cherokee is too smart to put anything in the contribution box of a race that’s robbed him of his birthright.

    Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    If a marriage is going to work well, it must be on a solid footing, namely money, and of that commodity it is the girl with the smallest dowry who, to my knowledge, consumes the most, to infuriate her husband. All the same, it is only fair that the marriage should pay for past pleasures, since it will scarcely procure any in the future.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
