Famous quotes containing the words cherokee and/or nations:

    Long accustomed to the use of European manufactures, [the Cherokee Indians] are as incapable of returning to their habits of skins and furs as we are, and find their wants the less tolerable as they are occasioned by a war [the American Revolution] the event of which is scarcely interesting to them.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Interest does not tie nations together; it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.
