Life's Little Lessons

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.
