Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children. – Sitting Bull
There are things they tell us that sound good to hear, but when they have accomplished their purpose they will go home and will not try to fulfill our agreements with them. – Sitting Bull

White, quoted in Israel Shenker, “E.B. White: Notes and Comment by Author,”
