Enjoy These Wise Quotes And Proverbs

I love quotes and proverbs.

That's the reason I have a few lenses showcasing the ones I like best.

I started collecting interesting quotes when I was a young teenager.

I must have copied thousands of them in different notebooks. Now I simply

keep them on my computer Notepad. It's a lot easier that way.
