Chief Joseph

It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.

Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.

Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.

In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to move.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I'm greedy for that satisfaction of doing something hard and knowing that, even though I was afraid I couldn't do it, that somehow I can deliver.
