Medical Aphorism

Aphorism is from a Greek word and means to define. It is generally a one-liner used tersely to convey a perspective in a way that once bitten by it you are seldom likely to forget it in a hurry.

Some examples of Aphorism are as follows:

* People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones at others - Anon

* "Death with dignity is better than life with humiliation." -Husayn ibn Ali

* Love your mistakes but don't marry one. - Leonid Sukhorukov,
   book 'All About Everything'

* Marry in haste: Repent at leisure. -- Scottish proverb

* Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. -- Chinese Proverb.

* One man's meat is another man's poison.
