Famous quotes containing the words native americans, battles with, battles, native and/or americans:

    “There can be no more ancient and traditional American value than ignorance. English-only speakers brought it with them to this country three centuries ago, and they quickly imposed it on the Africans—who were not allowed to learn to read and write—and on the Native Americans, who were simply not allowed.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “These battles sound incredible to us. I think that posterity will doubt if such things ever were,—if our bold ancestors who settled this land were not struggling rather with the forest shadows, and not with a copper-colored race of men. They were vapors, fever and ague of the unsettled woods. Now, only a few arrowheads are turned up by the plow. In the Pelasgic, the Etruscan, or the British story, there is nothing so shadowy and unreal.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Formerly, when lying awake at midnight in those woods, I had listened to hear some words or syllables of their language, but it chanced that I listened in vain until I heard the cry of the loon. I have heard it occasionally on the ponds of my native town, but there its wildness is not enhanced by the surrounding scenery.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
