I find profound wisdom in proverbs, sayings and quotes and marvel at the way they can be so succinct in communicating messages to the reader. Mostly anonymous, they come to us from past generations and across cultures, and speak of the experiences of lives lived and lessons learned. Quotes like proverbs, can make us think more deeply about something.
Each Thursday, I post a Proverb or Saying and a Quote that I find thought-provoking. I hope you will too.
“A blind man who sees is better than a sighted man who is blind.” – Iranian Proverb
“It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one’s youth.”
~ Vincent van Gogh
