Maybe it is because I am not the smartest cookie around, that is why I find beauty and meaning in the simple sayings when others find them ordinary. That doesn’t matter. What matters is I have learned a great deal from these terse sayings.
I am passionate about them, and I have a big collection of these sayings which I started in my school days. Here are some of them.
