"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear.
What one fears one destroys."

." A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.”

Go Forward With Courage

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still;
be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
-- as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Ponca Chief White Eagle (1800's to 1914)

All birds, even those of the same species, are not alike, and it is the same with animals and with human beings. The reason The Great Spirit does not make two birds, or animals, or human beings exactly alike is because each is placed here by The Great Spirit to be an independent individuality and to rely upon itself.

"O Great Spirit whose voice I hear in the winds,
I come to you as one of your many children.
I need your strength and your wisdom.
Make me strong not to be superior to my brother,
but to be able to fight my greatest enemy:
"MYSELF"!

CHEIF DAN GEORGE
