Some of my teachers who uttered those quotes which resonate with me are centuries old. They include sages, philosophers, poets, and writers.
Short and precise, aphorisms tell a story and teach a lesson in a few words or a couple of sentences. They inspire me, and have served as signposts on my journey through life. They are largely responsible for where I am, and who I am now.
