  • What you are comes from the blood of those who set you on this journey. That is likewise unchangeable. What you see in the reflecting pool of truth is who you are. You cannot change that, so it is wise not to curse it. The wiser choice is to embrace it and make it your strength.

  • You can think whatever you want, say whatever you want, and do whatever you want, as long as you are willing to face the consequences.

    Thinking   Long   Want  
    Joseph M. Marshall III (2012). “Walking with Grandfather: The Wisdom of Lakota Elders”, p.48, Sounds True
  • Life is a circle. The end of one journey is the beginning of the next.

  • Life can give you strength. Strength can come from facing the storms of life, from knowing loss, feeling sadness and heartache, from falling into the depths of grief. You must stand up in the storm. You must face the wind and the cold and the darkness. When the storm blows hard you must stand firm, for it is not trying to knock you down, it is really trying to teach you to be strong.

    Strong   Grief   Fall  
  • Weakness and strength are necessary for balance. No one or nothing is only weak or only strong. But some of us overlook our weaknesses, and even deny that we have them. That can be dangerous, because denying there is a weakness is in itself a weakness. Likewise, accepting that we have weaknesses becomes a strength. And by the same token, overestimating strength is a weakness. You should not be blinded by your strengths. The feeling of strength is not the same as having strength. Neither should you ignore your weaknesses. Know them well, too.

  • When our spirit tells us it is time to weep, we should weep. It is part of the ritual, if you will, of putting sadness in perspective and gaining control of the situation. . . . Grief has a purpose. Grieving does not mean you are weak It is the first step toward regaining balance and strength. Grieving is part of the tempering process.

    Grief   Sadness   Mean  
  • We are all afraid of something. But that shouldn't stop us from going on every day. We should not always walk in fear of the shadow while we are in the light. It is certain we will not know when or how the difficult and bad times will come, but if we accept that they will come, then they are easier to face when they do. And always remember that anything that causes the shadow is smaller than the source of light.

    Fear   Light   Shadow  
  • The strength of a tree, the old ones say, comes not from growing thicker in the good years when there is water, but from staying alive in the bad, dry times.

    Years   Water   Tree  
    Joseph M. Marshall III (2005). “The Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History”, p.113, Penguin
  • When a storm blows, you must stand firm. For it is not trying to knock you down, it is really trying to teach you to be strong.

    Strong   Blow   Storm  
  • Success is rarely the result of one swell swoop, but more often the culmination of many, many small victories.

    Joseph M. Marshall III (2002). “The Lakota Way: Stories and Lessons for Living”, p.143, Penguin
  • Bravery is a requisite virtue because life demands it.

    Bravery   Demand   Virtue  
    Joseph M. Marshall III (2002). “The Lakota Way: Stories and Lessons for Living”, p.127, Penguin
  • Accepting that we have weaknesses becomes a strength.

  • ... Our ability to reason has not given us special status, only a greater responsibility.

    Joseph M. Marshall III (2012). “Walking with Grandfather: The Wisdom of Lakota Elders”, p.42, Sounds True
  • If it is true that strength is the child of effort and pain, then most of us will have the opportunity to learn strength. . . . Effort is standing up to the storm. Pain comes from enduring the worst the storm can throw at us. But then so does strength.
