More quotes by 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 things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.
Chief Seattle
All things are connected like the blood which unites one family.
Chief Seattle
Humans merely share the Earth. We can only protect the land, not own it.
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
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
Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless.
Chief Seattle
We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumes flowers are our sisters the deer, the horse, the great eagle: these are our brothers. All things are connected like the blood which unites one's family.
Chief Seattle
Earth does not belong to us we belong to earth. Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Chief Seattle
Like a man who has been dying for many days, a man in your city is numb to the stench.
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
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
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit
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
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
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
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
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
