Truisms

The beauty about aphorism is that they never go out of date. They are timeless – as applicable today and hereafter as when they were first uttered, and some of them were spoken centuries ago.

These are thoughts and opinions of sages, philosophers, spiritual leaders, mystics, and people who had given life a great deal of thought. Most of these quotes teach us life-lessons not taught in classrooms. They may answer some of the questions you have on life as well as change your understanding and attitude towards life.

The teacher, however great, can never give his knowledge to the pupils … although … he can kindle the light if the oil is in the lamp. - Hazrat Inayat Khan

All men come into this world alone and leave it alone. - Thomas de Quincey

Every time a man puts a new idea across he finds ten men who thought of it before he did – but they only thought of it. - Unknown

The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order. - Henry Miller

What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering. - George Bernard Shaw

No matter where or what, there are makers, takers, and fakers. - Robert Heinlein
