Aphorisms One,: 2015

How the Aphorism Blog works

Writers reveal their creativity in their choice of words and how they arrange them. Many are statements of truth and wisdom presented in ways to influence their audience. My aphorisms are these mined thoughts.

Often the statements are lengthy or are situation specific. I condense them if necessary, and then generalize them to a universal audience.

Since I take liberties with the statements, most blogs will present the created aphorism followed by the full quote and citation.

Many of the quotes are from the classics, others are taken from contemporary sources including modern fiction and non-fiction, newspaper articles, and magazine articles.

The aphorisms are listed chronologically from the first posting until the current list. This procedure will be followed until the blog fades away.

Followers are invited to submit their own "created" aphorisms in the comment section.

"General Life-Theory": A Candidate!

"Only Air Clean Laundry!"

An aphorism is "a pithy observation that contains a general truth." After a long recess, Aphorism One is back on-line. Aphorism 149 and 150 is from William Wharton's memoir, Houseboat on the Seine.
