Chief Joseph

It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.

Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.

Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.

Fort Leavenworth is in fact no fort, being without defensive works, except two block-houses.

I don't like to get in front of people.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
