Famous quotes containing the words reservations, native, american and/or colonies:

    “Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word “human.””
    —Suzanne Lafollette (1893–1983)

    “The remnant of Indians thereabout—all but exterminated in their recent and final war with regular white troops, a war waged by the Red Men for their native soil and natural rights—had been coerced into the occupancy of wilds not far beyond the Mississippi.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The American ideal is youth—handsome, empty youth.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the mother land; but something in that Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
