Enchanting Wisdom of Native Americans

By Simon Starr

Book Overview

Winston Churchill once remarked, "It is a good thing for an educated man to read books of quotations." This is a result of the immense power that is concealed in the thoughts of great individuals. Quotations not only make us wiser, they help to swiftly connect us to the most sacred inner thoughts of an individual. Joseph Roux finely states "a fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool." This book is a composition of the timeless thoughts of some of the most important figures in Native American history. The thoughts presented help the reader to delve into the thinking and wisdom of Native Americans. It is a great shame within the USA how little we know about the people whose land we stand upon. "Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children." "Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing respect for life, enriching faith in a Supreme Power, and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity, and brotherhood as a guide to mundane relations."
