Native Support

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or support:

“Is a civilization naturally backward because it is different? Outside of cannibalism, which can be matched in this country, at least, by lynching, there is no vice and no degradation in native African customs which can begin to touch the horrors thrust upon them by white masters. Drunkenness, terrible diseases, immorality, all these things have been gifts of European civilization.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

“‘Tis not enough to help the feeble up,
But to support him after.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
