More quotes by Chief Seattle
To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.
Chief Seattle
We are a part of the earth and it is part of us.
Chief Seattle
. . . the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony and man - all belong to the same family. . . . The White Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers.
Chief Seattle
Like a man who has been dying for many days, a man in your city is numb to the stench.
Chief Seattle
We do not own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water. How can you buy them from 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
Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead, did I say? There is no death, only change of worlds.
Chief Seattle
All creation is one. What we do to one, we do to the entire web of life.
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
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
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
Your religion was written on tablets of stone, ours on our hearts. 8. We are part of the earth and the earth is part of us.
Chief Seattle
Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors - the dreams of our old men, given them in solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit and the visions of our sachems, and is written in the hearts of our people.
Chief Seattle
Earth does not belong to us we belong to earth. Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Chief Seattle
Your God is not our God! Your God loves your people and hates mine! He folds his strong protecting arms lovingly about the paleface and leads him by the hand as a father leads an infant son.
Chief Seattle
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
Chief Seattle
The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.
Chief Seattle
To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Chief Seattle
How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of the earth is sacred to my people.
Chief Seattle
Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.
