More quotes by Chief Seattle

Image
The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Chief Seattle
Image
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
Image
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
Image
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.
Chief Seattle
Image
Our God, the Great Spirit, seems also to have forsaken us. Your God makes your people wax stronger every day. Soon they will fill all the land.
Chief Seattle
Image
Humans merely share the Earth. We can only protect the land, not own it.
Chief Seattle
Image
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
Image
All things are connected like the blood which unites one family.
Chief Seattle
Image
Like a man who has been dying for many days, a man in your city is numb to the stench.
Chief Seattle
Image
Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.
Chief Seattle
Image
To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Chief Seattle
Image
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit
Chief Seattle
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless.
Chief Seattle
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.
Chief Seattle
Image
. . . 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
Image
Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant, but it will surely come, for even the White Man ... cannot be exempt from the common destiny.
