Native Tribes

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or tribes:

    “When I think of my own native land,
    In a moment I seem to be there;
    But alas! recollection at hand
    Soon hurries me back to despair.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That’s what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is—One Who Killed Our Lord.... And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.”
    —Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
