A short, witty statement expressing a single thought or observation. An epigram can also be paradoxical in nature. Epigrams are similar to aphorisms; however, most aphorisms express a general principle or truth about life in a sentence--epigrams can be a bit longer.

Example: "What is a epigram? A dwarfish whole. Its body brevity, and wit its soul."

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
