- Aphorism (nonfiction) - A concise, terse, laconic, and/or memorable expression of a general truth or principle. They are often handed down by tradition from generation to generation. The concept is distinct from those of an adage, brocard, chiasmus, epigram, maxim (legal or philosophical), principle, proverb, and saying; some of these concepts are species of aphorism. From Greek ἀφορισμός: aphorismos, denoting "delimitation", "distinction", and "definition".
