To read and understand aphorisms is not enough. We must also know how to apply them to our life situations. That’s where the value of aphorisms lie; that’s where you find the profound lessons in aphorisms.
We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means, we hang on to them and often forget the ends. - Eric Hoffer
If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world. - Joseph Addison
The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opponents than from his fervent supporters. - Walter Lippmann
Often the desire to appear competent impedes our ability to become competent, because we are more anxious to display our knowledge than to learn what we do not know. - Magdeleine Sable
If we determine that we will perform one deed of kindness every day, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem, we will never stop reaping the returns. - Unknown
We live in a discouraging world full of people who put us down. What bright lights we can be when we say the simple words, ‘I have confidence in you!’ - Florence Littauer
The thorns which I have reaped are of the tree I planted; they have torn me, and I bleed. I should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed. - Lord Byron
