Snippets of Wisdom

Proverbs, axioms, maxims... these short sentences speak volumes to me when I was only a kid and 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 I learned the beauty and wisdom in these proverbs, axioms and maxims. I am still doing it now, collecting proverbs and quotes that resonate with me. I believe proverbs, maxims and axioms have shaped me into who I am today. For that, I will always be passionate about them.

Take a look at this week's selection, and take a moment to think what each phrase means. You might learn something new and valuable.
