Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or states:

    “I am not sure but all that would tempt me to teach the Indian my religion would be his promise to teach me his.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When some one remarked that, with the addition of a chaplain, it would have been a perfect Cromwellian troop, he observed that he would have been glad to add a chaplain to the list, if he could have found one who could fill that office worthily. It is easy enough to find one for the United States Army. I believe that he had prayers in his camp morning and evening, nevertheless.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
