“If Indians are in the area you settle in, you will have no trouble with them unless you get out of line. Indians are one of the easiest race types of all to get along with. Although solid of face they have a great sense of humor and enjoy real comedy immensely. A friend of mine near Gallup, New Mexico had a store that he called John's Teepee that sold Indian souvenirs and curios. He up a number of large roadside signs in Navajo territory. They read: GENUINE BEADED BELTS AND NAVAJO RUGS AT JOHN'S TEEPEE 1 MILE. The first night the signs were up the Indians painted the right side of the T in teepee in a half circle making the T into a P. In northern Arizona through the woodland areas the state put up road signs reading LOOK OUT FOR THE DEER. The Indians quickly painted a line half way through the D in deer making the D into a B. To me this kind of humor is really funny, a lot funnier than the form jokes written by television writers and memorized by so-called television "Adlib" comedians who are no funnier than their ability to memorize a script.”
George Leonard Herter, How to Get out of the Rat Race and Live on $10 a Month

“Even everything on a rhino can be used by the man living in the bush. THe hide makes fine table tops, the legs - baskets, the hair on the tail - fine bracelets, the teeth - good carvings, and if you grind up the horn and eat it, you can have children even if you are ninety years old. The flesh is delicious, if aged properly.”
George Leonard Herter, How to Get out of the Rat Race and Live on $10 a Month

“Emergency tanning method is as follows. Dry deer and animal brains, then boil them in enough urine to form a thin cream-like solution. Soak the raw hides in the solution for 24 hours, then remove them and stretch and pull the hides continuously for at least a half hour over the rounded end of an eight inch or larger log. Pull and stretch the hides until they are dry or practically dry. This is the Ojibway method of tanning raw hides.”
George Leonard Herter, How to Get out of the Rat Race and Live on $10 a Month

“Be yourself!…No, not like that! —SOCIETY”
Jessica McCabe, How to ADHD: An Insider's Guide to Working with Your Brain

Taylor Caldwell
“A politician, as we know, who serves the people, really serves them out of conviction and idealism, is eventually despised by them as a naïve imbecile. But a scoundrel of color, who can invent a few deadly aphorisms of his own, and can laugh and twinkle and joke, gets their adoration, and even if he is later exposed for what he is—a thief, a timeserver, a liar—the public becomes hysterical at the 'attacks' on him. In fact, the public will attack the outraged attackers of their darling.”
Taylor Caldwell, Captains and the Kings: The Story of an American Dynasty
