The beauty of Aphorisms is that they are usually fairly simple in words and meaning. However, behind the simple words, and sentences are profound truisms and life lessons. Unfortunately, it is easy to read the words without really understanding the more profound meaning they convey, missing the point of these ageless aphorisms.

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 usefulness of the lessons in aphorisms.
