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>

whom among the characters of the story "a day in the country" touch your emotions and it seems that you are in her/his shoes
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Terenty

Explanation:

Although I have not had any of the experiences that the characters in "A day in the country" had, I have a great admiration for Terenty. That's because he has a very simple life and an appearance that is very devalued and even criticized, but he has a good heart and acts according to the need and the commitment to the good. he also doesn't want to be recognized for his deeds, because he promotes them without expecting anything in return.
