...some one has to speak in favor of the right when so speaking is unpopular. The more unpopular, the greater the necessity; ... The Republican party has done much for this country. It has often created and preserved prosperity by fighting crazes. For the first time in its history, it is yielding to one. If it would only say ""we have made this prosperity, it is our child, and shall have our protection,"" and stand to its guns, it will beat Bryanism to death as it always has. But with its leader caring more for popularity than principle, courageous, as he is uninformed, I, myself, am convinced that it will have to go out of power in order that it may return chastened and more trusted than ever.

Salvation cannot come without revelation; it is in vain for anyone to minister without it. No man is a minister of Jesus Christ without being a Prophet. No man can be a minister of Jesus Christ except he has the testimony of Jesus; and this is the spirit of prophecy.

You know my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression. There comes a time my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life's July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

These people were looking at me for help and there was no way I could turn my back on them

Historia opisywana przez nie – indiańskich autorów jest często pełna błędów. Potrzebujemy całej grupy ludzi tworzących literaturę faktu. Łatwiej jest pisać o swoich emocjach, niż o faktach. Już przed laty Indianie zaczęli pisać poezję – „Jestem Indianinem w Gallup i jest mi smutno…” Znamy to od dawna i nadszedł czas, by Indianie zaczęli pisać o technice i naukach społecznych.
