Native Wisdom
- I am tired of talk that comes to nothing. It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises. There has been too much talking by men who had no right to talk. It does not require many words to speak the truth. (Chief Joseph: Nez Perce 1840-1904, Nez Percéé Indian chief)
