Moral Interest

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or interest:

    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)

    A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.
