“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail.

“I have said many times, and it is literally true, that there is absolutely nothing that could keep me in business, if my job were simply business to me.

—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Culture is an instrument wielded by teachers to manufacture teachers, who, in their turn, will manufacture still more teachers.”
