Aphorism is a statement of truth or opinion expressed in a concise and witty manner. The term is often applied to philosophical, moral and literary principles.

Let us look at some aphorism examples:

<span>Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old age regret. [Benjamin Disraeli]</span>

<span><span>Pride hath fall. [Proverb]</span></span>

<span><span />The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. [William Faulkner]</span>

<span><span>Life’s Tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. [Benjamin Franklin]</span></span>

<span><span />Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream. [Khalil Gibran]</span>

<span>The simplest questions are the hardest to answer. [Northrop Frye]</span>

<span><span>A proverb is no proverb to you till life has illustrated it.  [John Keats]</span></span>

<span><span /><span>Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind. [Rudyard Kipling]
</span></span>
