Day Chief

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or chief:

    Is money money or isn’t money money. Everybody who earns
    it and spends it every day in order to live knows
    that money is money, anybody who votes it to be
    gathered in as taxes knows money is not money. That
    is what makes everybody go crazy.... When you earn
    money and spend money every day anybody can know the
    difference between a million and three. But when you
    vote money away there really is not any difference
    between a million and three.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    A regular council was held with the Indians, who had come in on their ponies, and speeches were made on both sides through an interpreter, quite in the described mode,—the Indians, as usual, having the advantage in point of truth and earnestness, and therefore of eloquence. The most prominent chief was named Little Crow. They were quite dissatisfied with the white man’s treatment of them, and probably have reason to be so.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
