"Warriors are not what you think of as
warriors. The warrior is not someone
who fights, because no one has the
right to take another life. The warrior,
for us, is one who sacrifices himself for
the good of others.
His task is to take care of the elderly,
the defenseless, those who can not
provide for themselves, and above all,
the children, the future of humanity."
- Sitting Bull
