Anthologies of aphorisms are usually arranged according to themes…. This is not the best method for the aphorism, because it often has several themes and interpretations. – Markku Envall
All of us encounter, at least once in our life, some individual who utters words that make us think forever. There are men whose phrases are oracles; who can condense in one sentence the secrets of life; who blurt out an aphorism that forms a character, or illustrates an existence. – Benjamin Disraeli
