So, oft in theologic wars
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

We are given permission
by the responsibility we accept
and carry out. Nothing more,
nothing less.
People are not born.
They are made when they become
human beings within ritual,
tradition, purpose, responsibility.


Therefore, as humans, this we do:
Sun Father begins red
in the east.
Stand and be humble.
Red through trees,
moments changing each instant
into the next change,
each change tied to the next.
To be human is to have
a sense of being within self.


Sun. Red. Trees.
Our hearts’ eyes seeing
inward and outward, accepting:
Stand and be humble.


The more names you have the more of a person you become. That’s what I’ve heard. I was telling Tom yesterday afternoon. Values, education, social change, cultural corruption, what is and what isn’t. I have to dispute him at moments. I tell him, The knowledge we derive from the education we get is our own. Knowledge is determined by our cultural, spiritual, linguistic, political environment. The knowledge from the community and context here cannot be anything but the people’s own. This is not Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, or Rapid City. This is Rosebud, the Lakota homeland.

Our names are both Indian and American. We have so many names now we don’t know them all. In a sense, we have become more of a people than ever before.

Omg @ Alex Anderson whyyyyy XD

If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat, just climb on!

Expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those sleect few who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the sense. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention!"

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name

Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat volunta tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.

Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día
Perdona nuestras ofensas,
Como también nosotros perhonamos
A los que nos ofenden

Bu jiao women yujian shitan,
jiu women tu o li xi o ng'e,

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Excuse the lack of accents in the fourth section. Bonus points for those that can identify each language!

Adventian regnum tumm. This might be Latin?
Fat volunta tua,

Danos hoy nuesto pan de cada dia This is Spanish
Perdona nuestras ofensasa

A lost wue nos ofendin
Adveniat regnum tuum.

Bu juao women yujian shitan, I have no idea what language this is

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
the first part of the Gettysburg Address

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

“Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.”

Cowards die many times before their deaths, the valiena never taste of death bu once."

You can spend your life existing. You have to spend it living.

Another technological advancement was the quadrant. The quadrant was a device that, if correctly used, would let sailors know with some accuracy where they were. While it needed to be operated by two people and was not perfect, it was quite useful in keeping the ships on track and minimized the amount of ships that got lost at sea.[/font]
