If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others. – François VI de la Rochefoucault
These people have no religion, neither are they idolaters, but are a very gentle race, without the knowledge of any iniquity; they neither kill, nor steal, nor carry weapons… they have a knowledge that there is a God above, and are firmly persuaded that we have come from heaven. – Christopher Columbus
