NetPosse Quotes for Victims and Volunteers

I love quotes and I read them each time one comes across my desk.  I was recently told by my son that quotes were dumb. That people don’t really read them. I tried to explain to him that people really did! And as I looked into his face I realized that he didn’t yet have an inkling of how simple quotations condense the wisdom of our lives in a short sentence or two.  

I have always been one to ponder over those sentiments by famous and sometimes not so famous people who have great and sometimes not so great things to say.  I have always been one of those people who take any kind of wisdom to heart.

Words of wisdom can come in many forms, but many times it is the wording and categorization of these quotes that has the strongest effect on the reader. It made me wonder, though, why certain quotations seem to fit me as a victim when I was searching for Idaho. And then later quotes seemed to fit our volunteer organization’s never-ending quest to find the missing horses and to help the victims.

So, on this page I am offering to you quotes that offer wisdom for the victims and the volunteers of NetPosse.com. And as you ponder over them I hope you smile and I hope you find comfort in them, just as I have.
