The Great Spirit is everywhere; He hears whatever is in our minds and our hearts, and it is not necessary to speak to Him in a loud voice.

Like the grasses showing tender faces to each other, thus should we do, for this was the wish of the Grandfathers of the World.

Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles.

So I took the bright red stick and at the center of the nation's hoop I thrust it in the earth.

And if the great fear had not come upon me, as it did, and forced me to do my duty, I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all, even with the memory of so great a vision in me.

I think I have told you, but if I have not, you must have understood, that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see.

But if the Vision was true and mighty, as I know, it is true and mighty yet;for such things are of Spirit, and it is in the darkness of their eyes that men get lost.
