Joseph Brant quotes

“No person among us desires any other reward for performing a brave and worthy action, but the consciousness of having served his nation.”
-- Joseph Brant -
“Do you call yourselves Christians? Does then the religion of Him whom you call your Savior inspire your spirit, and guide your practices? Surely not. It is recorded of him that a bruised reed he never broke. Cease, then, to call yourselves Christians, lest you declare to the world your hypocrisy. Cease, too, to call other nations savage, when you are tenfold more the children of cruelty than they.”
-- Joseph Brant -
“The Mohawks have on all occasions shown their zeal and loyalty to the Great King; yet they have been very badly treated by his people.”
-- Joseph Brant -
“We are tired out in making complaints and getting no redress.”
