An aphorism is a statement of truth condensed into few words that express much. “Concise, clever, often paradoxical,” says Webster’s Dictionary.

With the advent of paper, they evolved into brief morsels of insight, often witty or satirical. The Quotable Stoic is a new distillation of wisdom in the classic tradition of Mark Twain, H. L.
