Truisms

Aphorisms are my surrogate educators. They are my teachers, guardians, and friends … always there to patiently motivate, encourage, advice, counsel, console, enlighten, educate, and at times to egg me on when I am feeling despondent, discouraged or disillusioned. That is why I am passionate about aphorisms.

Take an interest in Aphorisms. Learn from the wisdom of others.
