Reader's note

An aphorism is not a witticism or 'gag' but a general truth expressed pithily and making a wise, if often ironic, comment on human behaviour. The aphorisms in this volume - they total more than 3000 - have been collected throughout their lifetimes by the editors who are keen connoisseurs of the genre. Represented here are quotes from Socrates, Freud, Shakespeare, Plato and many many more! Here is one from Hebbel ' There are persons who always find a hair in their plate of soup for the simple reason that, when they sit down before it, they shake their heads until one falls in.' or maybe this one from Samuel Butler 'Friendship is like money, easier made than kept'. Witty throughout and brilliant to read! A great addition to any library.
