Facets of Life

Quotes made us think. When we think, we analyse the truth contain therein, and we learn the wisdom in them. Quotes can serve as our signposts on our journey through life. They can be our teachers, guardians, and friends … always there to patiently motivate, encourage, advice, counsel, console, enlighten, educate, and at times to egg us on when we are feeling down, discouraged or disillusioned. Some of these teachers are centuries old. But their words of wisdom are still as applicable today as when they were first said, centuries ago.
