Native Nations

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or nations:

“O native country, repossessed by thee!
For, rather than I’ll to the West return,
I’ll beg of thee first here to have mine urn.
Weak I am grown, and must in short time fall;
Give thou my sacred relics burial.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“All men should have a drop of treason in their veins, if nations are not to go soft like so many sleepy pears.”
