Motivational and Inspirational Words

Aphorisms teach the best life lessons. They are the accumulated wisdom of the ages, the teachings of the sages, gurus, philosophers and people who had experienced and understood what life is about. They are valuable lessons. That is why motivational speakers quote aphorisms in their speeches to inspire and motivate their audience.
