Life's Little Lessons

Welcome to the world of quotes. Quotes – the words of wisdom from the sages, the philosophers, the poets, and all the wise men of old, (and recent), who had been through life’s hardships, adversities and indignities.

The beauty of quotes is that they are ageless. They are also usually fairly simple in words and meaning. However, behind the simple words, and sentences are profound truisms. Unfortunately, it is easy to read the words without really understanding the more profound meaning they convey, missing the point the of the quotes.

Still, don’t underestimate the power of what a few simple words of encouragement can do for a person. It can make all the difference in the world to him. A few simple words at the right time can inspire or motivate. It can change a person’s point of view, and how one looks at life. Sometimes, it can also change a person’s life. That is the power of quotes.
