Chief Dan George

Love is something you and I must have.
We must have it because our spirit feeds
upon it. We must have it because without
it we become weak and faint.Without love
our self-esteem weakens. Without it our
courage fails. Without love we can no longer
look confidently at the world. We turn inward
and begin to feed upon our own personalities,
and little by little we destroy it ourselves.
With it we are creative. With it we march
tirelessly. With it and with it alone,
we are able to sacrifice for others.
