Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or states:

    “I was happy there,
    part Venetian vase,
    part Swiss watch, part Indian head.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
