Text Quotes
We are pilgrims, not settlers; this earth is our inn, not our home  (Settlers Quotes) And children swarmed to him like settlers. He became a land  (Settlers Quotes) Pioneers get slaughtered, and the settlers prosper  (Settlers Quotes) Within forty years of their arrival in the Plymouth colony, the first white settlers were afraid their children had lost the dedication and religious conviction of the founding generation. Ever since, Americans have looked to the next generation not only with love and solicitude but with a good measure of anxiety, worrying whether they themselves were good parents, fearful that their children would not turn out well  (Settlers Quotes) There is a board game called Settlers of Catan. That is what I play. I am so embarrassed.  (Settlers Quotes) Of the Sturges family, much more is known than is available about poor Irish immigrants and obscure Scottish-English settlers around Rochester.  (Settlers Quotes) I had been reading a lot about pioneers in Australia and the colonization of Australia, and pioneers in Virginia and the early settlers in the United States, and I was fascinated by those communities and how they grew, how their politics developed, and the actual suffering of those people and the tribulations they went through.  (Settlers Quotes) Jazz music, as is also the case with the old down-home spirituals, gospel and jubilee songs, jumps, shouts and moans, is essentially an American vernacular or idiomatic modification of musical conventions imported from Europe, beginning back during the time of the early settlers of the original colonies.  (Settlers Quotes) The early settlers amazed her--they had pluck, they led lives of sweaty drama. Theirs was a world of corsets and whipping posts and indentured servitude. People worked the land and died in ungainly ways. Modern life, in comparison, seemed a cinch.  (Settlers Quotes) As for the very first settlers, they were not even free. The founders were not a chosen people except in the old Australian joke that they were chosen by the best judges in England.  (Settlers Quotes) Self-rule means that China must stop its intensive effort to colonize Tibet with Chinese settlers and must allow Tibetans to hold responsible positions in the government of Tibet.  (Settlers Quotes) I’m from New York. My grandparents were settlers of Long Island City. When they came here, there was no bridge, and they had to hire a boat across the river. They had a farm, and my grandmother had to go once a week to Manhattan to buy provisions - very primitive.  (Settlers Quotes) Australia’s arid western region, from the town of Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean coast, is a beautiful, haunting, but largely empty land. Dominated by the harsh, almost uninhabited Great Sandy and Gibson deserts, the region is known only to Australian Aborigines, a handful of white settlers, and the few travelers who motor across it.  (Settlers Quotes) Prairie grassland once covered much of North America’s midsection. European settlers turned nearly all of it into farms and ranches, and today the prairie landscape survives mainly in isolated reserves.  (Settlers Quotes) America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting  (Settlers Quotes) While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry  (Settlers Quotes) People, when they first come to America, whether as travelers or settlers, become aware of a new and agreeable feeling: that the whole country is their oyster  (Settlers Quotes) Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion  (Settlers Quotes) One of the strongest and most persistent elements in national development has been that inheritance of political traditions and usages which the new settlers brought with them  (Settlers Quotes) We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and gun barrel, we shall not be able to plant a tree or build a house  (Settlers Quotes) After all the fertile land in the immediate neighbourhood of the first settlers were cultivated, if capital and population increased, more food would be required, and it could only be procured from land not so advantageously situated  (Settlers Quotes) Mormons were the first settlers. Not sure Joseph Smith would approve of today's topless showgirls and liquor. Though he would like the volcano at the Mirage. Everybody likes the volcano  (Settlers Quotes)
