Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned
to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
we borrow it from our Children.
Ancient Indian Proverb
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.
White Eagle
When you were born, you cried
and the world rejoiced.
Live your life
so that
when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.
White Elk
Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever
we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.
Chief Seattle, 1854
May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May
hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.
Chief Dan George
