Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or river:

    “The Indian is one of Nature’s gentlemen—he never says or does a rude or vulgar thing. The vicious, uneducated barbarians, who form the surplus of overpopulous European countries, are far behind the wild man in delicacy of feeling or natural courtesy.”
    —Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)

    “but we wish the river had another shore,
    some further range of delectable mountains,”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
