It is amazing to me how so many people have never read the wisdom of Chief Joseph.  He was a man of few words with his conversations, but, every word was spoken with great forethought and purpose. 

This is one of my favorite quotes!  Although, the original context is quite often overlooked, an elder of the Sioux Nation once told me that Chief Joseph spoke of the "peace" talks between the great chiefs of the original Nations, here in the U.S.,  and the "chiefs" of the military, government representatives, correspondents, and clergymen who sat around the  ~~fires of talking~~  to gain understanding and find peace. 
This particular quote is definitely appropriate for some experiences in the world of internet "dating".......hahahaha ...... and I find myself whole heartedly agreeing with Chief Joseph.  But, there is always hope to find a mind that talks back with something interesting, captivating, funny, or otherwise.  We just have to listen to, sometimes, far too much of the opposite.  I'm optomistic though!!  There are many totally interesting people on this site.
