The life my people want is a life of freedom. I have seen nothing that a white man has, houses or railways or clothing or food, that is as good as the right to move in the open country and live in our fashion.

What does it matter how long I pray, so long as my prayers are answered?

Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit.

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!

The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.

There are things they tell us that sound good to hear, but when they have accomplished their purpose they will go home and will not try to fulfill our agreements with them.

Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them.
