More quotes by Chief Seattle
Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless.
Chief Seattle
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
Chief Seattle
The white man's dead forget the country of their birth when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful Earth, for it is the mother of the red man. We are part of the Earth and it is part of us.
Chief Seattle
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.
Chief Seattle
To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.
Chief Seattle
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit
Chief Seattle
Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.
Chief Seattle
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
Chief Seattle
We are a part of the earth and it is part of us.
Chief Seattle
When the Earth is sick, the animals will begin to disappear, when that happens, The Warriors of the Rainbow will come to save them.
Chief Seattle
To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Chief Seattle
We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it, he moves on.
Chief Seattle
When the green hills are covered with talking wires and the wolves no longer sing, what good will the money you paid for our land be then
Chief Seattle
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors we borrow it from our children
Chief Seattle
Whatever Seattle says, the great chief at Washington can rely upon with as much certainty as he can upon the return of the sun or the seasons.
Chief Seattle
The whites, too, shall pass - perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.
Chief Seattle
Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Chief Seattle
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we can not eat money.
Chief Seattle
We are all children of the Great Spirit, we all belong to Mother Earth. Our planet is in great trouble and if we keep carrying old grudges and do not work together, we will all die.
Chief Seattle
There is no death, only a change of worlds.
Chief Seattle
