Letter "M" » My Country
«What could I do but go with them [Civil War soldiers], or work for them and my country? The patriot blood of my father was warm in my veins.»
«To compete in the Olympic Games has always been a dream. The opportunity I have to represent my country at them is unbelievably exciting.»
«What treaty have the Sioux made with the white man that we have broken? Not one. What treaty have the white man ever made with us that they have kept? Not one. When I was a boy the Sioux owned the world; the sun rose and set on their land; they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today? Who slew them? Where are our lands? Who owns them?....What law have I broken? Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am a Sioux; because I was born where my father lived; because I would die for my people and my country?»

«The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.»
«Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.»
«Where liberty is, there is my country»
«Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way in the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action.... into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.»
