What treaties that the whites have kept, that the red man broken? Not one. What treaties that the white man gave to us they kept? Not one.

More quotes by Sitting Bull

The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.

I am nothing, neither a chief nor a soldier.

You come here to tell us lies, but we don't want to hear them. If we told you more, you would have paid no attention. That is all I have to say.

I have killed, robbed, and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace. They are medicine, and I would eventually die a lingering death. I had rather die on the field of battle.

This is a good day to die. Follow me!
