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

    “It almost seems that nobody can hate America as much as native Americans. America needs new immigrants to love and cherish it.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “Boys dream of native girls who bring breadfruit,
    Whatever they are....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “We Americans are supposed to be overly concerned about the child. But actually the intelligent care of children in our society is balanced by a crass indifference to the helplessness of infancy and youth. Cruelty to children has become more widespread but less noticed in the general unrest, the constant migration, the family disintegration, and the other manifestations of a civilization that has been torn away from its original moorings.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
