Truisms

I am passionate about aphorisms. I started taking an interest in them at an early age. It used to be just proverbs, axioms, and maxims... Later on, any quote that resonates with me, I will take note of it. I have quite a big collection of them now.

I firmly believe that there is a place for aphorisms in life, in society. If you take an interest in them, you might, like me, find that there is a lot you can learn from these wise sayings of men who have gone on before us. They serve as a record of lessons on Life.
