Aphorisms: the best of the least
By John Leo, Syndicated Columnist

"People no longer bother much to create new aphorisms, adages and memorable sayings. But when they do, this column boldly moves to collect them. "An aphorism is a one-line novel," said Ukrainian author and aphorism fanatic Leonid Sukhorukov. Here are some more recent extra-short novels:

"The plural of anecdote is not data," said Frank Kotsonis. "A journey of a thousand miles starts with an airline ticket. Unless you're crazy," observed aphorist Chad Carter. "We campaign in poetry; we govern in prose," said President Jed Bartlet of TV's "West Wing." "Where there's Saddam, there's Gomorrah," said author and blogger Stefan Kanfer of Stefan Kanfer's Gadflights."
