There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men. – Black Elk
I had a vision with which I might have saved my people, but I had not the strength to do it. – Black Elk
I think I have told you, but if I have not, you must have understood, that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see. – Black Elk
And if the great fear had not come upon me, as it did, and forced me to do my duty, I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all, even with the memory of so great a vision in me. – Black Elk
