Famous quotes containing the words attending and/or tribes:
“As for butterflies, I can hardly conceive
of one’s attending upon you; but to question
the congruence of the complement is vain, if it exists.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“That those tribes [the Sac and Fox Indians] cannot exist surrounded by our settlements and in continual contact with our citizens is certain. They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
