Fun Challenge – Make An Aphorism

Aphorism – a pithy observation that contains a general truth; a concise statement of a scientific principle, typically by an ancient classical author

derived from the Greek word for ‘definition’

Hippocrates introduced the aphorism with his first and most famous one: “Life is short, art is long”.

Examples:

• Don’t judge a book by it’s cover
• The grass is always greener on the other side
• Curiosity killed the cat
• Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer
• Honesty is the best policy

What if you created your OWN aphorism?

What do you want to say and leave behind? Something you can start saying and other people could say, too?!
