Famous quotes containing the word indian:

    “When an Indian is burned, his body may be broiled, it may be no more than a beefsteak. What of that? They may broil his heart, but they do not therefore broil his courage,—his principles. Be of good courage! That is the main thing.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
