Studying the buddha way is studying oneself. studying oneself is forgetting oneself. forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. no trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.

How can i set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? i think it's a lie - people claim they want to be free - everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. but that's bullshit! people are terrified to be set free - they hold on to their chains. they fight anyone who tries to break those chains. it's their securityhow can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?

You see the one thing i've always maintained is that i'm an american indian. i'm not a native american. i'm not politically correct. everyone who's born in the western hemisphere is a native american. we are all native americans. and if you notice, i put american before my ethnicity. i'm not a hyphenated african-american or irish-american or jewish-american or mexican-american.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself — and i will obey every law or submit to the penalty.

To be rich is to give; to give nothing is to be poor; to live is to love; to love nothing is to be dead; to be happy is to devote oneself; to exist only for oneself is to damn oneself, and to exile oneself to hell.

When i have plucked the rose, i cannot give it vital growth again, it needs must wither. i'll smell it on the tree.

Men don't and can't live by exchanging articles, but by producing them. they don't live by trade, but by work. give up that foolish and vain title of trades unions; and take that of laborers unions.

I don't want the world to give me anything for my books except money enough to save me from the temptation to write only for money.

It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. it's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.
