Native Burmese Word

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or word:

“Met face to face, these Indians in their native woods looked like the sinister and slouching fellows whom you meet picking up strings and paper in the streets of a city. There is, in fact, a remarkable and unexpected resemblance between the degraded savage and the lowest classes in a great city. The one is no more a child of nature than the other. In the progress of degradation the distinction of races is soon lost.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.”
—Silius Italicus (26–101)
