Facets of Life

Aphorisms motivate, and inspire because they encompass years of wisdom of people who had experienced the same hardship, or undergone the same circumstances. There is power in these words of wisdom. The right aphorism at the right time, at the right place can change a person’s point of view, or in some cases, a person’s life. It is like a key opening the lock to a recess of the mind which we did not know existed.
