Life's Little Lesson

I am not very academically inclined. Facts and figures seem to just go over my head. Luckily, I have a passion for reading, and a passion for proverbs, aphorisms, axioms, maxims and such... It is through my passions that I learned about Life.

Hence, it is my belief that quotes have a place in life. I am living example of it. The knowledge, the lessons I gleaned from quotes are invaluable to me. They are personal treasures, my pride.

If you wish to learn more about life, start taking an interest in quotes. You will learn life lessons not taught in school. You will learn lessons taught only in the University of Life.
