Aphorisms

life time opportunity. Later on in life, you may be sorry for the choices you've made."You can observe a lot by watching," another quote by Yogi Berra, is my fourth aphorism.

"Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think," by Jean de la Bruyere is my sixth aphorism. This aphorism, in a way, is similar to my previous one.
