Natives

Famous quotes containing the word natives:

“The partridge and the rabbit are still sure to thrive, like true natives of the soil, whatever revolutions occur. If the forest is cut off, the sprouts and bushes which spring up afford them concealment, and they become more numerous than ever. That must be a poor country indeed that does not support a hare. Our woods teem with them both.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We are Christians by the same title as we are natives of Perigord or Germany.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“The British tourist is always happy abroad as long as the natives are waiters.”
—Robert Morley (1908–1992)
