4 Quotes by Will Henry

The wishbone will never replace the backbone

That is the way a white man remembers a battle. So many soldiers here, so many there. Such a captain here. Such a lieutenant there. This colonel in one place. That major in another. The horses precisely here, the cannon exactly there. But not an Indian. An Indian remembers where his mother fell bayoneted, or his little brother had his skull smashed, or his big sister cried for mercy and was shot in the mouth.

The wishbone will never replace the backbone.

Fools live to regret their words, wise men to regret their silence.
