Truisms - Words To Live By
Our lives might not have come with a manual, or an instruction booklet to teach us how to live our lives, but life happening, unfurling around us is itself serving as instructions for us. If we pay more attention to what is going in life, we will be doing all right.

Aphorisms motivate and inspire because they teach a philosophical or moral truth which is relevant to our experiences in life. The relevance is what makes them fascinating and interesting. Have a look at this selection of Truisms.
