Many humorous things... [View all]

[mezame]

In many countries we have chained the savage and starved him to death.
In more than one country we have hunted the savage and his little children and their mother
With dogs and guns through the woods and swamps for an afternoon’s sport.
In many countries we have taken the savage’s land from him and made him our slave,
And lashed him every day and broken his pride, and made Death his only friend,
And overworked him till he dropped in his tracks.

There are many humorous things in the world. Among them, the White man’s notion that he is less savage than the other savages.

Mark Twain
