More from Tecumseh
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
TecumsehTecumseh Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
TecumsehTecumseh My father! The sun is my father, and the earth is my mother, and on her bosom I will recline.
TecumsehTecumseh Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
TecumsehTecumseh From my tribe I take nothing. I am the maker of my own destiny! And of that I might make the destiny of my red people, of our nation, as great as I conceive to in my mind, when I think of Weshemoneto, who rules this universe!
TecumsehTecumseh We gave them forest-clad mountains and valleys full of game, and in return what did they give our warriors and our women? Rum, trinkets, and a grave.
TecumsehTecumseh Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pcanet, and other powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and oppression of the white man, as snow before the summer sun.
TecumsehTecumseh Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.
TecumsehTecumseh The way, and the only way, to stop this evil is for all the red men to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land, as it was at first, and should be yet; for it was never divided, but belongs to all for the use of each.
TecumsehTecumseh Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.
TecumsehTecumseh The Great Spirit is angry with all men that tell lies.
TecumsehTecumseh Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
TecumsehTecumseh Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
TecumsehTecumseh Brothers, we must be united; we must smoke the same pipe; we must fight each other’s battles; and more than all, we must love the Great Spirit.
TecumsehTecumseh Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
TecumsehTecumseh Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
