"Once more I would like to hear water murmur of earth. Once more I would like to touch a child to feel beyond today. Once more I would like to taste a tree's sap to remember the strength of spring. Once more I would like to see the color of happiness to know the deathman's song will please me. Then, O Earth, I shall be ready to return to you what little I have left from all the years of taking from you." (Chief Dan George)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
