I was thinking on my mother today and our Native American Heritage so I thought I would post a couple of Native American quotes.

"When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." - Chief Aupumut (1725), Mohican.

"I have seen that in any great undertaking it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself." - Lone Man (Isna-la-wica), Teton Sioux

Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins ~Unknown

Wisdom comes only when you stop looking for it and start living the life the Creator intended for you.

~Hopi

Where there is no imagination there is no horror.

- - -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

[Cheeky Actress]

What fearful shapes and shadows beset his path, amidst the dim and ghastly glare of a snowy night!

With what wistful look did he eye every trembling ray of light streaming across the waste fields from some distant window!

How often was he appalled by some shrub covered with snow, which, like a sheeted specter, beset his very path!

How often did he shrink with curdling awe at the sound of his own steps on the frosty crust beneath his feet; and dread to look over his shoulder, lest he should behold some uncouth being tramping close behind him!

And how often was he thrown into complete dismay by some rushing blast, howling among the trees, in the idea that it was the Galloping Hessian on one of his nightly scouring!

- - - Washington Irving (a quote from "The Legend of Sleep Hollow")

[Iron Jon]

"When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep... not screaming, like the passengers in his car."

~ Unknown

[BriarRose Kildare]

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

" 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door;

Only this, and nothing more."

Edgar Allen Poe, 1st Stanza of The Raven (and to think he was gonna use a parrot instead )

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. ~Vincent Van Gogh

Most glorious night!

Thou wert not sent for slumber!

Dawn seemed to follow midnight with indecent haste. ~J.K. Rowling

[Perkeo]

“If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like 'Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!' and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, 'That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.' Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice.”-Jack Handey -

[Silkie McDonough]

It is a revolution, and it can no more be checked by human effort... than a prairie fire by a gardener's watering pot.

Stir the fire till it lowe

How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon

From the slow opening curtains of the clouds

Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!

May Jack-o-lanterns burning bright

Of soft and golden hue

Pierce through the future’s veil and show

What fate now holds for you.

And yet a little tumult, now and then, is an agreeable quickener of sensation; such as a revolution, a battle, or an adventure of any lively description.

Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world.

Mary Shelley

There was something awesome in the thought of the solitary mortal standing by the open window and summoning in from the gloom outside the spirits of the nether world.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

[BriarRose Kildare]

The instinctive act of humankind was to stand and listen, and learn how the trees on the right and the trees on the left wailed or chaunted to each other in the regular antiphonies of a cathedral choir; how hedges and other shapes to leeward then caught the note, lowering it to the tenderest sob; and how the hurrying gust then plunged into the south, to be heard no more.

Thomas Hardy

God is in my head, but the devil is in my pants.

Jonathan Winters

Evil comes to all us men of imagination wearing as its mask all the virtues.

The moving Moon went up the sky.

And nowhere did abide;

Softly she was going up,

And a star or two beside-

By Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

I saw the new moon late yestreen,

Wi' the auld moon in her arm:

And if ye gang to sea, maister,

I fear we'll suffer harm.

From the anonymous Scottish ballad Sir Patrick Spens
