"I think we're very uptight in America. You have to remember that we're descended from Puritans. Whether or not the country is now composed of immigrants, our culture as American really begins with the landing of the Pilgrims and a puritanical view of things."
Tom Ford
The mind of the Renaissance was not a pilgrim mind, but a sedentary city mind, like that of the ancients.

"At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.”
E. E. Cummings... hmmm
New York has an amazing history of farming and fishing that goes right back to the Pilgrim Fathers. At its core are the four seasons, which are distinct, well-established and similar to those in Lyon, where my family lives: when it's snowing in New York, a week later it will be snowing there.
Daniel Boulud
One hundred years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth,
the Spanish government issued a decree authorizing
the enslavement of the American Indian as in accord
with the law of God and man.
Nelson A. Miles
Our nation is built upon a history of immigration, dating back to our first pioneers, the Pilgrims. For more than three centuries, we have welcomed generations of immigrants to our melting pot of hyphenated America: British-Americans; Italian-Americans; Irish-Americans; Jewish-Americans; Mexican-Americans; Chinese-Americans; Indian-Americans.
Ami Bera
"It has always happened hitherto that whenever I have begun to feel an attachment to places, persons, or things, of a merely temporary nature, I have been carried away from them. Amen! May I live as a stranger and pilgrim upon the earth. May we be brought to that better country where painful changes are known no more."
Henry Martyn
There is something inexpressibly sad in the thought of the children who crossed the ocean with the Pilgrims and the fathers of Jamestown, New Amsterdam, and Boston, and the infancy of those born in the first years of colonial life in this strange new world.
Alice Morse Earle
There stood a ma with his sword drawn and his face all over with blood. Then said Mr. Great-Heart. Who art thou? The man made answer, saying, I am one whose name is Valient for truth. I am a pilgrim and am going to the Celestial City.
John Bunyan
The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Amricans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of Thanksgiving.
It certainly is the duty of every true Christian,
to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world;
and as bound to use earthly blessings,
not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness,
but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities.
Johann Arndt
