Whether or not our system of Indian management has been a success during the past ten, fifty, or hundred years is almost answered in the asking.

The intrusions of the white race and the non- compliance with treaty obligations have been followed by atrocities that could alone satisfy a savage and revengeful spirit.

Our relations with the Indians have been governed chiefly by treaties and trade, or war and subjugation.

The Indians, however, could not migrate from one part of the United States to another; neither could they obtain employment as readily as white people, either upon or beyond the Indian reservations.

One hundred years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, the Spanish government issued a decree authorizing the enslavement of the American Indian as in accord with the law of God and man.

For a time during the early settlement of this country peace and goodwill prevailed, only to be followed later by violent and relentless warfare.

The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.

These are hallowed moments, when every American has reason to express his gratitude to Almighty God that it has been our good fortune to witness the light of this auspicious morn.

It is unfair to suppose that one party has invariably acted rightly, and that the other is responsible for every wrong that has been committed.

If we dismiss from our minds the prejudice we may have against the Indians we shall be able to more clearly understand the impulses that govern both races.

In that moment I found a power beyond any I'd had before, a will and a determination I would never have need if not for Lucinda, a fortitude I hadn't been able to find for a lesser cause.

Demons? No problem. Just find your local stalker psycho and ask the whistling dear head hanging above his fireplace how many licks on a toostie pop does it take to make a demon go away.

I don't think I have the ability or patience to teach badminton to others.

I don't have to get up in the morning and go beat up my body like I used to. I don't have to be out there in August in 108 degree weather down in Texas.

I didn't know music could make me feel good, I guess.

Love can sometimes achieve the impossible

I cannot stand superheroes. I do not understand any of its appeal. It has just bored me to death since I was a little kid.

I believe in a supreme being, yeah. But He's an all-loving God.
