Proverbs, Maxims, Adages...

Proverbs, maxims, adages, and cliches are different forms of aphoristic statements that gain prevalence from generation to generation and frequently appear in our day-to-day speech. These are words of wisdom, of the sages, gurus, philosophers… the wise men before us who have been through life’s hard knocks. If we take time to examine their words, we would surely benefit from their wisdom.
