I love quotations. They are short but contain a lot of wisdom. They allow us to learn the lessons of life in a concise way. We can learn a lot just from reading and pondering good quotations.
I’m always on the lookout for good quotations, so I’d like to ask you:
What is your favorite quotation?
Let me share mine first. Here is my favorite quotation:
