United Indians

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or indians:

“I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“The ferryman had told us that all the best Indians were gone except Polis, who was one of the aristocracy.”
