Aphorisms are words of wisdom of those who had been through life’s hard knocks. It is beneficial for us, to once in while, take a break from whatever we are doing to study them. We could learn something about life they didn’t teach us in school. Make studying of aphorisms a hobby, a habit. You will find that it is time well spent, time well invested.
