5. are apothegms. A saying is a lower grade of apothegm; each is likely to be found associated with the name of the author: as, the apothegms of socrates; a saying of poor Richard. each is a felicitous expression current for its own sake, but deriving additional popularity from the celebrity of its author. “herein is that saying true, one soweth, and another reapeth,” john iv. 37; “the little and short sayings of wise and excellent men are of great value, like the dust of gold or the least sparks of the diamond,” Tillotson. adage and proverb are habitual sayings, generally of long standing, embodying the common sense of mankind on ordinary subjects. the adage is often the more venerable by age and the more dignifled in its character: as, “necessity knows no law.” A saying may easily become an adage. proverb as used in the bible is often a saying: as, “physician, heal thyself,” luke iv. 23; but in the modern sense proverb often appears in some concrete figurative and homely form: as, “too many cooks spoil the broth”; “every tub must stand on its own bottom.” A truism is a truth too obvious to need explanation or proof; it is a word of relative application; what would be a truism to one might be an axiom or an aphorism to another. A byword is a cant term or phrase, in every one's mouth like a proverb, but applied in disparagement. saw is a contemptous term for an expression that is more common than wise, or for a trite or foolish saying reiterated to wearisomeness.
