Aphorisms
“We each wear a mask at some point in our lives. Each of
us put it on for different reasons. That moment when we
realize that the mask has become permanent is when the
possibility of true change can begin. Take off the mask, let
yourself be naked before others, be open with the ones
you love for they are your past, present, and future.”
“We edit our tomorrows by correcting our mistakes today.”
“We expect others to act with empathy and composure.
Yet at the same time, we expect others to understand why
we cannot.”
“We find ourselves to be far more accepting of the things
that we are used to, even if they do nothing but harm us.”
“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.”
“We hate delays by others, but sometimes it makes us
wise.”
“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen
twice as much as we speak.”
“We judge of man’s wisdom by his hope.”
“We just feel our own wounds, we may try to, but will
never be able to feel others wounds.”
“We keep our knowledge small; we can’t live to our full
potential.”
“We know what we are, but know not what we may be.”
“We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.”
“We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and
technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about
science and technology.”
