Famous quotes containing the words uncle and/or pen:
“Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle;
I am no traitors uncle, and that word grace
In an ungracious mouth is but profane.”

“If you tie a horse to a stake, do you expect he will grow fat? If you pen an Indian up on a small spot of earth, and compel him to stay there, he will not be contented, nor will he grow and prosper. I have asked some of the great white chiefs where they get their authority to say to the Indian that he shall stay in one place, while he sees white men going where they please. They can not tell me.”
—Chief Joseph (c. 18401904)
