Life's Little Lessons
Quotes motivate, and inspire because they encompass years of wisdom of people who had experienced the same hardship or undergone the same circumstances. They can be uplifting, and a quick ‘pick me up’ when things don’t go quite the way we want them to.
The beauty of quotes is that they are ageless. They are as applicable now as when they were uttered by some sage or guru or philosopher some centuries ago. Another beauty of quotes is that they are usually fairly simple in words and meaning. However, behind the simple words, and sentences are profound truisms. Unfortunately, it is easy to read the words without really understanding the more profound meaning they convey, missing the point the of the quotes.
