“Looking at the purpose of our government toward the Indians, we find that after subjugating them it has been our policy to collect the different tribes on reservations and support them at the expense of our people.”

“No administration could stop the tidal wave of immigration that swept over the land; no political party could restrain or control the enterprise of our people, and no reasonable man could desire to check the march of civilization.”

“Some people collect stamps, other people like to be famous. I don't have that hobby.”

“Ever since I was a kid, I loved to collect things. I am a collector.”

“I didn't collect my GCSEs. I didn't even do most of them.”
