Nathaniel Bumpo (The Deerslayer)

It's a poor counsellor that won't take as well as give.

Men of different races and colors, and having different gifts and traditions, but, in the main, with the same nature.
Both have souls.

Fright makes the wise silly, and the strong weak.

Ay, it comes easy for the young and handsome, who hear so much of them feelin's, to suppose that they lie at the bottom of most proceedin's.
