Famous quotes containing the words providence and/or chiefs:

    What is Providence for you may be Nemesis for me.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Hear me,” he said to the white commander. “I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. Our chiefs are dead; the little children are freezing. My people have no blankets, no food. From where the sun stands, I will fight no more forever.”
