You got to be brave and have courage, believe in yourself, because that is the first thing to success is believe in yourself.

I became the leader because of my father's leadership and I was considered as powerful as same as my own father.

People consider me more as hero. Apparently they like the way I stand up, for myself and give my opinion. The french speaking people weren't much of a person like me.

Deeds are not accomplished in a few days, or in a few hours. A century is only a spoke in the wheel of everlasting time.

What people referred me as is the Father of Manitoba.

I suppose the half-breeds in Manitoba, in 1870, did not fight for two hundred forty acres of land, but it is to be understood there were two societies who treated together. One was small, but in its smallness it had its rights. The other was great, but in its greatness it had no greater rights than the rights of the small, because the right is the same for everyone.

I know that through the grace of God, I am the founder of Manitoba.
