Chief Joseph
-
Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.
-
It does not require many words to speak the truth.
-
It required a strong heart to stand up against such talk, but I urged my people to be quiet and not to begin a war.
-
War can be avoided, and it ought to be avoided. I want no war.
-
I said in my heart that, rather than have war, I would give up my country.
