Snippets of Wisdom

Most proverbs, maxims, and axioms are easy to understand. However, understanding them is one thing. To be able to apply them in life, to be able to draw parallel to life situations and benefit from them, that is the value of these gems. Sometimes you have to go through certain life experiences to understand what the proverb means.

In proverbs, I find beauty in words, meaning, and wisdom.
