I am always amazed that a proverb, maxim, or axiom – short sentences of a few words could contain so much truth and meaning in them. Some of them sound so poetic and beautiful too. Although I am not academically inclined, I have no problem understanding what they mean.
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.
