Life's Little Lessons
Quotes, aphorisms, proverbs... they teach a lesson in a few words or a couple of sentences. Quotes made us think. When we think, we analyse the truth contain therein and we learn the wisdom in them. Quotes inspire me, and have served as signposts on my journey through life.

Good ones! He who scatters has much. I love that one!
Thank you Melinda. I am glad that there are some in this selection that resonates with you.
I was gonna disagree with Sun Tzu, but I guess it’s the crony weapons manufacturers that profit, not the nation. Oh, and the politicians who get campaign contributions from those companies.
I guess in Sun Tzu's time, things were a bit different.

In the surrounding countries in South-East Asia, but not in Singapore where I am. We are very lucky. We don't have natural disasters of any kind.
