Proverbs, Maxims, Adages...

These short sentences speak volumes to me even when I was barely able to grasp the full meaning of them all. They motivated me to keep a record of them, and I have been doing that since my early years. I am still doing it now, collecting anything that resonates with me. I believe proverbs, maxims and axioms have shaped me into who I am today. I bless the day I found beauty and power in words.
