More quotes by Chief Seattle
To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.
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
The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.
Chief Seattle
There is no death, only a change of worlds.
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
All things are connected like the blood which unites one family.
Chief Seattle
We are a part of the earth and it is part of us.
Chief Seattle
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
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
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
Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless.
Chief Seattle
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
To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Chief Seattle
All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
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 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
We do not own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water. How can you buy them from us?
Chief Seattle
All creation is one. What we do to one, we do to the entire web of life.
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.
