A few words can be more powerful than a long-winded speech. The wisdom can inspire and change the course of a life. You can provide your own adages and proverbs to help enlighten the lives of others.
The poor borrow at great cost and stay poor. The busy [the time-poor] postpone when they have little time only to become busier. ~ economist Sendhil Mullainathan and psychologist Eldar Shafir
