"I have walked with bears. I have heard the whispering of the great trees, I have felt their breath on my cheek. I have seen the heart of a glacier, pulsating, hot icy blue. I have heeded the voice of the Hawk, witnessed the birth of a dragonfly, and did I tell you? I have walked with bears!"

The rivers are our brothers, they quench our thirst. The rivers carry our canoes, and feed our children. If we sell you our land, you must remember, and teach your children, that the rivers are our brothers and yours, and you must henceforth give the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.

I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid people in the world, I'm just saying we should remove the warning labels from everything and let the problem take care of itself. -Dub

Also removing the labels saves a few ounces.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six.

Never bring a knife to a gunfight.

I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to out run you.
