The Yellowstone river is a beautiful river to navigate.

Snow is so common that I have omitted to note its falling at least two days out of Three.

Many of their lodges remained as perfect as when occupied. They were made of poles two or three inches in diameter, set up in circular form, and covered with cedar bark.

We continued to move forward without loss of time, hoping to be able to reach the wood described by the Indians before all our horses should become exhausted.

The weather was fine, the valleys literally covered with buffaloe, and everything seemed to promise a safe and speedy movement to the first grove of timber on my route, supposed to be about ten days' march.

The principal or highest part of the mountain having changed its direction to east and west, I ascended it in such manner as to leave its most elevated ranges to the south and travelled north west over a very rough and broken country generally covered with snow.

They urged me to take up winter quarters at the forks of the Platt, stating that if I attempted to advance further until spring, I would endanger the lives of my whole party.

Several speeches were made by the chiefs during the council, all expressive in the highest degree of their friendly disposition towards our government, and their conduct in every particular manifested the sincerity of their declarations.

The snow continues with high winds we remain at this camp to day in consequence of the weather.

The only very rugged part of the route is in crossing the Big Horn mountain, which is about 30 miles wide.

It appears from Mr. Smith's account that there is no scarcity of buffalo as he penetrated the country.

We were therefore obliged to unload our boats of their cargoes and pass them empty over the falls by means of long cords which we had provided for such purposes.

These mountains appear to be almost entirely composed of stratas of rock of various colours (mostly red) and are partially covered with a dwarfish growth of pine and cedar, which are the only species of timber to be seen.

Some of them profess to be well acquainted with all the principal waters of the Columbia, with which they assured me these waters had no connection short of the ocean.

Having now reached a point where danger might be reasonably apprehended from strolling war parties of Indians, spies were kept in advance and strict diligence observed in the duty of sentinels.

After an unremitting and severe labour of two days, we returned to our old encampment with the loss of some of my horses, and my men excessively fatigued.

The Yellowstone river is a beautiful river to navigate.

On my passage thither, I discovered nothing remarkable in the features of the country.

I had the Big Horn river explored from Wind River mountain to my place of embarkation.

After the departure of the land parties, I embarked with six men on thursday, the 21st april, on board my newly made boat and began the descent of the river.

As my men could profitably employ themselves on these streams, I moved slowly along, averaging not more than five or six miles per day and sometimes remained two days at the same encampment.

These people were well dressed in skins, had some guns, but armed generally with bows and arrows and such other instruments of war as are common among the Indians of the Missouri.

We remained at our encampment of this day until the morning of the 7th, when we descended ten miles lower down and encamped on a spot of ground where several thousand Indians had wintered during the past season.

One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it... and the journey is always towards the other soul.

A teacher enlarges people in all sorts of ways besides just his subject matter.

I am not a federal employee. I am a constitutional officer. My job is the Constitution of the United States, I am not a government employee. I am in the Constitution.

President Obama is more and more beginning to look like the hypocrite-in-chief when it comes to the war on terrorism. All sorts of things that he criticized the president for, he's actually continued and even extended. This drone attack program, he's got it at the highest level ever.

Charlotte Bronte was writing about sex. I supposed Jane Austen was, too. Where do you get a hero like Darcy unless you are writing about sex?

In college, I went to school for acting; we had to learn phonetics just to be able to do dialects and all that stuff. I'm somebody who does better just hearing it. I'll just imitate it, and I get it better that way. When I know too much information, I'm not great.

A bird in a nest is secure, but that is not why God gave it wings.

I grew up in Lincolnshire, trying to get the daughters of farmers and policemen to like me. It didn't go well until I got to college where, suddenly, there were different sorts of humans.

When I was very young I knew that I wanted to be in show business. I knew that I wanted to be an entertainer.

We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.

Acting wasn't some long-held dream, and it still isn't, really. I'm just trying to make some money and pay the bills.

To simply argue that public spending must always go up and never be cut is irresponsible.

You never really know your friends from your enemies until the ice breaks.

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.

The future and eternity are two entirely different things.

If the Knesset is a temple, then Feiglin is the idol. A Knesset where Feiglin presides is an impure Knesset.

Our people, though capable of strong and durable feeling, were not demonstrative in their affection at any time, least of all in the presence of guests or strangers.

I entered Harvard Medical School knowing nothing of research.

Indeed, I was unable to find any evidence whatsoever of the occurrence of a drastic evolutionary acceleration and genetic reconstruction in widespread, populous species.

As a kid I just felt like an outsider.

Only he who believes is obedient, and only he who is obedient believes.

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.
