An aphorism is a form of communication that is intended to be easily memorized, generally word for word and most often have some pithy religious or philosophical comment on the world.

Several examples include: "Let those who have ears, hear" -- Jesus "In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments — there are consequences." -- Robert G. Ingersoll[1]

Nearly every aphorism has an opposite aphorism.

## Aphorisms in politics[edit]

Aphorisms are often overused when candidates compete for votes. One could easily imagine a debate between two presidential nominees sounding something like this:

* John McCain: The bigger the better.
* Barack Obama: Good things come in small packages.

* McCain: Look before you leap.
* Obama: He who hesitates is lost.

* McCain: Clothes make the man.
* Obama: Never judge a book by its cover.

* McCain: When in Rome do as the Romans do.
* Obama: To thine own self be true.

* McCain: Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
* Obama: Out of sight, out of mind.

* McCain: Better safe than sorry.
* Obama: Nothing ventured, nothing gained

* McCain: The more the merrier.
* Obama: Two's company three's a crowd.

* McCain: It's never too late to learn.
* Obama: You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

* McCain: Has the cat got your tongue?
* Obama: Don't let the cat out of the bag.

* McCain: Let sleeping dogs lie.
* Obama: Leave no stone unturned.

* McCain: I know you are but what am I...
* Obama: I am rubber you are glue....
