Treat all men alike. Give them the same law. Give them an even chance to live and grow.

All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers.

We gave up some of our country to the white men, thinking that then we could have peace. We were mistaken. The white man would not let us alone.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace.

Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.

Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.

It does not require many words to speak the truth.

It required a strong heart to stand up against such talk, but I urged my people to be quiet and not to begin a war.

War can be avoided, and it ought to be avoided. I want no war.

I said in my heart that, rather than have war, I would give up my country.
