Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or indians:
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“The Indians of this neighborhood are about as familiar with the moose as we are with the ox, having associated with them for so many generations.”
