"On the one hand you talk about Christian values...
on the other hand you say...'Isn't force the only deterrent they respect?'
This has been our trouble down through the ages...
We have given only lip service to Christian values...
and lived by the jungle law of tooth and claw.
We have quoted 'Be not overcome of evil...overcome evil with good'
and then attempted to overcome evil with more evil...thereby multiplying the evil.
We worship God...but have no faith in the working of God's laws of love...."
(Peace Pilgrim talking with a person who believed in war AND Christian values)

"The Great Spirit is in all things: he is in the air we breathe.
The Great Spirit is our Father, but the earth is our mother.
She nourishes us... that which we put into the ground she returns to us."
(Bedagi)

"You must speak straight so that your words may go as sunlight into our hearts.
Speak Americans.. I will not lie to you... do not lie to me."
(Hardwood) 

"Traditional people of Indian nations have interpreted the two roads that face
the light-skinned race as the road to technology and the road to spirituality.
We feel that the road to technology.... has led modern society to a damaged and
seared earth. Could it be that the road to technology represents a rush to
destruction, and that the  road to spirituality represents the slower path that
the traditional native people have traveled and are now seeking again? The earth
is not scorched on this trail. The grass is still growing there."
(William Commanda)

"I do feel that spiritual progress demands at some stage that we should cease to kill
our fellow createures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants."
(Gandhi)

"We pray on Sundays that we may have light to guide our footsteps on the path we tread.
We are sick of war...we don't want to fight and yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead."
(George B. Shaw)

"...By the pricking of my thumbs...something wicked this way comes."
(Shakespeare)

"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. "
(Chief Dan George)

"We had no churches, no religious organization, no sabbath days, no holidays,
and yet we worshiped. Sometimes the whole tribe would assemble and sing and pray:
some times a smaller number, perhaps only two or three. The songs had a few
words...but were not formal. The singer would occasionally put in such words as
he wished instead of the usual tone sound. Sometimes we prayed in silence;
sometimes each prayed aloud and sometimes an aged person prayed for all of us.
At other times one would rise and speak to us of our duties to each other and to Usen...
Our services were short."
(Goyathlay)

".....I never said the land was mine to do with as I chose.
The one who has a right to dispose of it is the one who has created it.
I claim a right to live on my land, and accord you the privilage to live on yours."
(Heinmot Tooyalaket)
