“An enemy will almost never be anything except an enemy. All one can do with an enemy is defeat him. But an adversary can sometimes become an ally.
There is a cost, of course. In all things in life there is a cost. In dealing with an adversary, sometimes the cost paid in power or position.
Sometimes the cost is greater. Sometimes the risk is one's future, or even one's life.
But in all such situations, the calculation is straightforward: whether or not the potential gain is worth the potential loss.
And the warrior must never forget that he and his adversary are not the only ones in that equation. Sometimes, all the universe may hang in the balance.”
-Mitth'raw'nuruodo

"A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong.
Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the clouds, and the great sea, as well as the earth? Did not the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children?
From my tribe I take nothing, I am the maker of my own fortune.
Show respect to all people, but grovel to none."
-Chief Tecumseh

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
