Your best aphorisms.

[Queen Michael]

What great aphorisms have you come up with? My best is "Dreamworks makes kids' movies for grown-ups, while Pixar makes grown-ups' movies for kids."

Edit: An aphorism is a short witticism that often contains a bit of wisdom. Mostly everything people remember Oscar Wilde saying is an aphorism, like "I can resist everything, except a temptation."

You might want to include a definition, for those uneducated sods who don't know what an aphorism is. Not me, of course. *ahem*.

Oh, aphorisms! Those are the little green things that live on rose stems and which ladybirds like to eat! Right?

Aphorism = A concise and often witty statement of wisdom or opinion, such as ?Children should be seen and not heard,? or ?People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.?

Marketing, politics, journalism - they are all about one thing. In these, it is vital to present truth well, and to present lie even better.

Light a man a fire he will be warm for a night. Light a man on fire....he'll die a terrible death.

Light a man a fire he will be warm for a night. Light a man on fire....he'll die a terrible death.

Give a man a fish, and he'll feed himself for a day. Give a man a rod... He'll snap it in half, sell it for firewood... And buy another fish...

Would:
"A philosopher will ask 'if a tree were to fall in a forest and no one was around to hear it, will it still make a sound?'. A smart person however will ask 'Why does the presence of a person determine whether or not a falling tree makes any noise?'"

count?
