PERSONAL APHORISMS

Reply to this thread and list at least 3 aphorisms that you live by and that the rest of us could use, too, in our daily lives.

If you like (but it's not required) you can explain your aphorism(s) for us. But remember, aphorisms shouldn't really NEED explanation. They're little nuggets of advice that we can carry around with us. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

2. Even the the most tempting rose has thorns.
3. Learn from the past. Look to the future. Live in the present. Do you find this valuable?
