Tecumseh sayings

Tecumseh, a Native American Shawnee chief and leader, is known for his powerful and inspirational sayings. Here are a few of his famous quotes:

1. "Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart."

2. "When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself."

3. "A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong."

4. "Show respect to all people, but grovel to none."

5. "When you do the right thing, you get the feeling of peace and serenity associated with it. Do it again and again."

6. "Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours."

7. "Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the white man, as snow before a summer sun."

8. "The white people, who are trying to make us over into their image, they want us to be what they call 'assimilated,' bringing the Indians into the mainstream and destroying our own way of life and our own cultural patterns. They believe we should be contented like those whose concept of happiness is materialistic and greedy, which is very different from our way."

9. "When the legends die, the dreams end; there is no more greatness."

10. "Let us form one body, one heart, and defend to the last warrior our country, our homes, our liberty, and the graves of our fathers."
