“Go back home where you came from. This country is mine, and I intend to stay here and to raise this country full of grown people.”

I will remain what I am until I die, a hunter, and when there are no buffalo or other game I will send my children to hunt and live on prairie, for where an Indian is shut up in one place his body becomes weak.

Healthy feet can feel the very heart of Mother Earth.

The meat of the buffalo tastes the same on both sides of the border.

Every seed is awakened, and all animal life.

In my early days, I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I learned quickly.

Therefore, I do not wish to consider any proposition to cede any portion of our tribal holdings to the Great Father.

You think I am a fool, but you are a greater fool than I am.

You come here to tell us lies, but we don’t want to hear them. If we told you more, you would have paid no attention. That is all I have to say.

Come on England give us a goal.

I love running in nature. I don’t like running on the streets, I don’t like running in the city, I don’t like running on the concrete. I love running in nature, so Jamaica provides a lot of that for me.

U.S. society doesn’t want to play the role of international policeman.

People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.

In developing countries, lack of infrastructure is a far more serious barrier to trade than tariffs.

I am the wealthiest man, not just in Europe, but in the whole world.

The American people need a raise, and they need it now.

The U.S. won’t be free of Covid-19 until the world is.
