Quotations for aphorisms

Aphorisms are portable wisdom, the quintessential extracts of thought and feeling. [ W. R. Alger ]

Aphorisms, except they be ridiculous, cannot be made but of the pith and heart of sciences. [ Lord Bacon ]

Exclusive of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms. [ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ]

The excellence of aphorisms consists not so much in the expression of some rare or abstruse sentiment, as in the comprehension of some useful truth in few words. [ Johnson ]

Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms; and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism. [ Coleridge ]

Aphorisms, representing a knowledge broken, do invite men to inquire further; whereas methods carrying the show of a total do secure men, as if they were at furthest. [ Bacon ]
