“I said there was nothing so convincing to an Indian as a general massacre. If he could not approve of the massacre, I said the next surest thing for an Indian was soap and education.

― Mark Twain

“Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.”

“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.”
