Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!
From Sitting Bull
Each man is good in His sight. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.
Only seven years ago we made a treaty by which we were assured that the buffalo country should be left to us forever. Now they threaten to take that from us also.
The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.
This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path.
I am here by the will of the Great Spirit, and by his will I am chief.
It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.
What white man has ever seen me drunk? Who has ever come to me hungry and left me unfed? Who has seen me beat my wives or abuse my children? What law have I broken?
Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them.
They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse.
