How unutterably deprived! Wallace Stegner

One of Alaska's strengths is our pioneer role in environmentally sensitive development. Frank Murkowski
Every religious pioneer, including Jesus Christ, was persecuted by his contemporaries. But once people understand me, their turn can be dramatic like Saint Paul's. Sun Myung Moon

My mom was truly an iconic figure, a great journalist and a pioneering woman who died at 54 of cancer without ever having revealed to viewers that she was ill. David Frum
It is a beneficent incident of the ownership of land that a pioneer who reduces it to use, and helps to lay the foundations of a new State, finds a profit in the increasing value of land as the new State grows up. William Graham Sumner
