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>

How do the examples of Michael Scott and Romeo and Juliet

Answer:

Written by Applepi101

This helps to justify what Shakespeare expressed in his statement that people should not make fun of love at first sight because it just may be real. The author introduces us to a character from "The Office" to show us an example of what we mock when we think of love at first sight. The character does everything possible to find the model only to discover that she is, unfortunately, dead. Even so, he visited her grave, singing a requiem to what could have been. In paragraph 21, the author describes a similar event in the love story of Romeo and Juliet. Although Romeo and Juliet did not know each other, he had fallen in love with her at first sight and expressed through a sonnet that he wanted to kiss her, and she, in the end, agrees with his feelings.

I do not have the text, so I hope this helps you write your answer!
