A man who would not love his father’s grave is worse than a wild animal.

I pressed my father’s hand and told him I would protect his grave with my life. My father smiled and passed away to the spirit land.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace.

With few words one can speak the truth.

The earth was created by the assistance of the sun, and it should be left as it was. The country was made without lines of demarcation, and it is no man’s business to divide it.

I have heard talk and talk, but nothing is done. Good words do not last long unless they amount to something...

The earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the neasure of our bodies are the same.

From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more, forever.

Let me be a free man – free to travel, free to stop, free to work.

Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself – and I will obey every law or submit to the penalty.
