There will always be moments of anxieties, self-doubts, or moments when we are drained emotionally by the demands in our lives.

When these are not forthcoming, we can turn to the wise men of days gone by for their words of wisdom. Have a look at the following aphorisms. Keep, or remember the ones you like for days when you might need them. Or, for days when you might be called upon to pass them on.
