IntroductionI love reading quotes and learning from them. Reading
quotes, I believe, is a great way to learn about life. Quotes are short but contain a lot wisdom. They can give you useful lessons in a concise way. It doesn’t take much time to read them, but what you read can change your life.
I carefully handpicked every quote in this book. I went through thousands of quotes and chose only the best ones to be included here. The quotes I chose are the ones that contain life-changing lessons, not just beautiful play of words.
My suggestion is to read these quotes slowly and refer back to them often. Don’t be in a hurry. Take time to absorb the meaning of each quote. When you find something that resonates with you, reflect on how to apply it to your life.
These quotes contain the wisdom of the ages. They contain profound lessons that have passed the test of time. Applying them can change your life.
