- Adage — A maxim, sentence, aphorism, or concise formula expressing a moral truth, a rule of conduct, or a recognized traditional legal principle. This structural statement, often transmitted from Latin antiquity, synthesizes practical wisdom or the foundations of civil law, serving as a benchmark in rhetorical argumentation or the interpretation of legal norms.
- Aphorism — A concise, memorable, and concentrated enunciative formula expressing a general truth, a maxim, a moral principle, or a profound philosophical thought in an extremely expressive and often paradoxical form. Unlike proverbs, it usually has a known author and a highly refined stylistic structure.
