“The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass, they speak to me. The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me. The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dew on the flower, speaks to me. The strength of the fire, the taste of salmon, the track of the sun, and the life that never goes away, they speak to me. And my heart soars.” (Chief Dan George) 
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
