Famous quotes containing the words model and/or cherokee:

    “When you model yourself on people, you should try to resemble their good sides.”
    —Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    “Long accustomed to the use of European manufactures, [the Cherokee Indians] are as incapable of returning to their habits of skins and furs as we are, and find their wants the less tolerable as they are occasioned by a war [the American Revolution] the event of which is scarcely interesting to them.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
