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.

More quotes by 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
I will not dwell on, nor mourn over, our untimely decay, nor reproach my paleface brothers with hastening it, as we too may have been somewhat to blame.
Chief Seattle
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit
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
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
When the Earth is sick, the animals will begin to disappear, when that happens, The Warriors of the Rainbow will come to save them.

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
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 do not own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water. How can you buy them from us?
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
To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Chief Seattle
Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.
Chief Seattle
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.
Chief Seattle
Like a man who has been dying for many days, a man in your city is numb to the stench.
Chief Seattle
The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.
Chief Seattle
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
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 do not inherit the earth from our ancestors we borrow it from our children
Chief Seattle
Humans merely share the Earth. We can only protect the land, not own it.
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.
