Text Quotes
Man belongs to the Earth, Earth does not belong to man  (Chief Seattle Quotes) We are all children of the Great Spirit, we all belong to Mother Earth. Our planet is in great trouble and if we keep carrying old grudges and do not work together, we will all die.  (Chief Seattle Quotes) All things are connected like the blood which unites one family  (Chief Seattle Quotes) The white man’s dead forget the country of their birth when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful Earth, for it is the mother of the red man. We are part of the Earth and it is part of us  (Chief Seattle Quotes) The whites, too, shall pass - perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your own bed, and you might suffocate in your own waste  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Humans merely share the Earth. We can only protect the land, not own it  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Our God, the Great Spirit, seems also to have forsaken us. Your God makes your people wax stronger every day. Soon they will fill all the land  (Chief Seattle Quotes) If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?  (Chief Seattle Quotes) . . . the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony and man - all belong to the same family. . . . The White Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers.  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Youth is impulsive. When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, it denotes that their hearts are black, and that they are often cruel and relentless, and our old men and old women are unable to restrain them. Thus it has ever been.  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors - the dreams of our old men, given them in solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit; and the visions of our sachems, and is written in the hearts of our people.  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Our people are ebbing away like a rapidly receding tide that will never return. The white man’s God cannot love our people, or He would protect them.  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Day and night cannot dwell together. The Red Man has ever fled the approach of the White Man, as the morning mist flees before the morning sun.  (Chief Seattle Quotes) All creation is one. What we do to one, we do to the entire web of life.  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Take only memories, leave only footprints  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints!  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Every part of the earth is sacred to my people  (Chief Seattle Quotes) All things are bound together. All things connect  (Chief Seattle Quotes) To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator  (Chief Seattle Quotes) There is no such place as away  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste  (Chief Seattle Quotes) We are a part of the earth and it is part of us  (Chief Seattle Quotes) The water’s murmur is the voice of my father’s father  (Chief Seattle Quotes) My words are like the stars that never change  (Chief Seattle Quotes) What is there to life if a man cannot hear the lonely cry of the whippoorwill or the arguments of the frogs around the pool at night?  (Chief Seattle Quotes) We are part of the earth and it is part of us... What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth  (Chief Seattle Quotes) All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports  (Chief Seattle Quotes) What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man  (Chief Seattle Quotes) The earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves  (Chief Seattle Quotes) Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself  (Chief Seattle Quotes)
