“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.

—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“lf, presume not to God to scan;
The proper study of Mankind is Man.

A being darkly wise, and rudely great.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
