• Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the White Man, as snow before a summer sun. Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle, give up our homes, our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit, the graves of our dead and everything that is dear and sacred to us? I know you will cry with me, 'Never! Never!'

  Tecumseh

• I cannot say, and I will not say
  That he is dead. He is just away.
  With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
  He has wandered into an unknown land
  And left us dreaming how very fair
  It needs must be, since he lingers there.
  And you - oh you, who the wildest yearn
  For an old-time step, and the glad return,
  Think of him faring on, as dear
  In the love of There as the love of Here.
  Think of him still as the same. I say,
  He is not dead - he is just away.

• The cheapness of wine seems to be a cause, not of drunkenness, but of sobriety. ...People are seldom guilty of excess in what is their daily fare...
