What is an aphorism? Give your favorite one.?

An aphorism is a "tersely phrased statement of truth or opinion; an adage." My favorite is from Ghandi: "Be the change you want to see in the world." If that doesn't have truth to it, I don't know what does.\n\nBut I'm more interested in a link you had on another question. The webpage you direct us to raises a good question in itself. It says we should not hurt the EGOS of others? I mean OTHERS, full stop, yes. But their egos? Why?

Hogen, a Chinese Zen teacher, lived alone in a small temple in the country. One day four traveling monks appeared and asked if they might make a fire in his yard to warm themselves.\n\nWhile they were building the fire, Hogen heard them arguing about subjectivity and objectivity. He joined them and said: "There is a big stone. Do you consider it to be inside or outside your mind?"\n\nOne of the monks replied: "From the Buddhist viewpoint everything is an objectification of mind, so I would say that the stone is inside my mind."\n\n"Your head must feel very heavy," observed Hogen, "if you are carrying around a stone like that in your mind."
