| "Should we distrust the man because his manners are not our manners, and that his skin is dark?" | James Fenimore Cooper | The Last of the Mohicans |  | | "Why should Tamenund stay? The pale faces are masters of the earth, and the time of the red men has not yet come again. My day has been too long. In the morning I saw the sons of Unamis happy and strong; and yet, before the night has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans." | James Fenimore Cooper | The Last of the Mohicans | | | On the human imagination events produce the effects of time. Thus, he who has travelled far and seen much is apt to fancy that he has lived long; and the history that most abounds in important incidents soonest assumes the aspect of antiquity. | James Fenimore Cooper | The Deerslayer | | | We live in a world of transgressions and selfishness, and no pictures that represent us otherwise can be true, though, happily, for human nature, gleamings of that pure spirit in whose likeness man has been fashioned are to be seen, relieving its deformities, and mitigating if not excusing its crimes. | James Fenimore Cooper | The Deerslayer | | |
