“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”

The real frienship is like fluorescence, it shines better when everything has darken.

You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.

You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

Some day I shall sing to thee in the sunrise of some other world, I have seen thee before in the light of the earth, in the love of man.

Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love.

Let me light my lamp , says the star, And never debate if it will help to remove the darkness

He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.

Power said to the world, you are mine. The world kept it prisoner on her throne. Love said to the world, I am thine. The world gave it the freedom of her house.

I have lost my dewdrop , cries the flower to the morning sky that lost all its stars.

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance

Love adorns itself; it seeks to prove inward by outward beauty.

Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows. Now we are poor but we are free. No white man controls our footsteps. If we must die, we die defending our rights.

But in that backroom or whatever it is when God confronts me with my sins, I do not believe any of the kills I had during the war will be among them. Everyone I shot was evil. I had good cause on every shot. They all deserved to die.

Our memories lurch to a reluctant halt in their funeral march, so I can pour salt over them one last time.

In my dreams you conjure me like a spell in the night. Let us haunt one another with uneasy peace, and die burning alive.

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.

A cold wind blew on the prairie on the day the last buffalo fell. A death wind for my people.

It’s not a problem taking out someone who wants your people dead. That’s not a problem at all.

I have killed, robbed, and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace. They are medicine, and I would eventually die a lingering death. I had rather die on the field of battle.
