Famous quotes containing the words paramount and/or chiefs:

    “There are many faculties in man, each of which takes its turn of activity, and that faculty which is paramount in any period and exerts itself through the strongest nation, determines the civility of that age: and each age thinks its own the perfection of reason.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ““Hear me,” he said to the white commander. “I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. Our chiefs are dead; the little children are freezing. My people have no blankets, no food. From where the sun stands, I will fight no more forever.””
    —For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
