Aphorism
- "If you listen to, and you do what and when evil wants you to do, evil owns you. If you say to evil ok I’ll do it, 'just let me have 5 minutes before doing it' you are still his friend, but he does not own you."

Famous quotes containing the word aphorism:
“Finding a thought for an aphorism is not hard. Putting a kink in its tail is the hard part.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“A good aphorism is too hard for the teeth of time and is not eaten up by all the centuries, even though it serves as food for every age: hence it is the greatest paradox in literature, the imperishable in the midst of change, the nourishment which—like salt—is always prized, but which never loses its savor as salt does.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The aphorism is a slippery plaything.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
