An aphorism is a concise statement of an insight or truth, usually having a practical or political significance.
President Ronald Reagan, for example, liked to say the following aphorisms:[1]
- "I once played a sheriff who thought he could do the job without a gun. I was dead in twenty-seven minutes of a thirty minute show."
- "Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."
