When you pray with this pipe, you pray for and with everything.

Peace will come to the hearts of men when they realize their oneness with the universe, It is every where.

And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father.

You remember that my great vision came to me when I was only nine years old, and you have seen that I was not much good for anything until after I had performed the horse dance near the mouth of the Tongue River during my eighteenth summer.

When I got back to my father and mother and was sitting up there in our tepee, my face was still all puffed and my legs and arms were badly swollen; but I felt good all over and wanted to get right up and run around.

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

After the horse dance was over, it seemed that I was above the ground and did not touch it when I walked.
