Life's Little Lessons

One could write a paragraph or a page and not able to express what these few words or sentences could. Such is the power of words, of aphorisms. 

Aphorisms reinforce our thoughts, ideas, beliefs and opinions. And it is a nice feeling when we find our thoughts or opinions expressed by someone else more eloquently.

The following words of wisdom are short and easy to remember. Do take a few moments to have a look. Maybe there is something that is useful to you. Or, maybe you know of someone who needs some encouragement. If nothing else, they will add to your chest of knowledge.
