The one above, from a man who is known for many epigrams, is a good example of what they are and are not. But it's important to make a distinction between an epigram, an epigraph, an aphorism, and a proverb. And that's just what I'll do in this article on Epigram Examples.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"toc\">\nIn this article, you will learn:\n<ol>\n<li>The definition of an epigram.<\/li>\n<li>Differentiating epigrams from other literary terms.<\/li>\n<li>Examples of modern and classic epigrams.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-what-is-an-epigram\" data-level=\"2\">What is an Epigram?<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-epigram-vs-proverb\" data-level=\"3\">Epigram vs Proverb<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-epigram-vs-aphorism\" data-level=\"3\">Epigram vs Aphorism<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-epigram-vs-epigraph\" data-level=\"3\">Epigram vs Epigraph<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-greek-and-latin-epigrams\" data-level=\"3\">Greek and Latin Epigrams<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-epigram-examples\" data-level=\"2\">Epigram Examples<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-using-epigrams-in-your-work\" data-level=\"2\">Using Epigrams in Your Work<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should Trust Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So I've been writing and formatting books for a long time. 10+ years as of this writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I actually found formatting to be a huge pain, which is why I actually created my own formatting software that solved all my problems. I called it Atticus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this isn't meant to be a sales pitch. I just want to make sure it's clear that I know what I'm talking about. The amount of research that went into not only formatting my own books, but also creating a formatting software is huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I researched everything, from tiny margin requirements, to the specific type of quotes to use (curly or straight, it makes a difference).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yes, of course, that includes how to format epigrams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if all that makes sense, hopefully you'll come along with me as show you everything I've learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-an-epigram\">What is an Epigram?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An epigram is a short poem or witty saying that deals with a single thought or idea. There are two key things to remember about epigrams. <strong>The first is that there's generally some wit, satire, or comedy in the saying,<\/strong> which differentiates an epigram from other, similar literary terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second is that epigrams are often \u2014 though not always \u2014 in the form of very short poems. For something to be an epigram, it needs to meet one of these two criteria \u2014 or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-epigram-vs-proverb\">Epigram vs Proverb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A proverb and an epigram are often easily confused. A proverb is also a short, often witty statement, just like an epigram. They usually pertain to life in general terms. But the main difference is, <strong>proverbs are not often accredited to anyone.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common proverbs are those you hear people say so much that they have even become cliches. Here are some examples of proverbs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cA bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIgnorance is bliss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFortune favors the bold.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-epigram-vs-aphorism\">Epigram vs Aphorism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are slight differences between epigrams and aphorisms. Both are brief, witty, and often deal with a single idea or universal \u201ctruth.\u201d <strong>But the big difference lies in tone<\/strong>. Aphorisms can range in tone from comedic to serious and everywhere in between. Also, aphorisms are not usually in verse form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-epigram-vs-epigraph\">Epigram vs Epigraph<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks in no small part to the similar spelling, epigrams and epigraphs are often confused. An epigram comes at the beginning of a story, <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/how-long-should-a-chapter-be-rules-by-genre\/\">chapter<\/a>, or literary text in the form of a saying, <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/quotes-reading-books\/\">quote<\/a>, poem, or even a proverb. <strong>An epigram stands on its own, although it can be taken from the author's larger works, as is often the case.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An epigram can be used as an epigraph when placed at the beginning of a literary text. However, given the wide range in tone and style, epigraphs are not constrained by such a narrow definition as a short, witty poem that stands on its own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"standard-cta testimonial\" id=\"cta-block_60b64968000c9\">\r\n    <div class=\"cta-inner row\">\r\n                    <div class=\"cta-media col-md-4\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"cta-media-inner\">\r\n                    \r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/Atticus\" alt=\"Click here to see it in action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">                        \r\n                                                    <i class=\"fa fa-play\"><\/i>\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"img-overlay\"><\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Atticus.png\" alt=\"Atticus - the #1 Book Writing and Formatting Software used by thousands of authors.\" height=\"1384\" width=\"2210\">\r\n                        \r\n                        <\/a>                    <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <div class=\"cta-body col-md-8\" style=\"text-align:left;\">  \r\n                            <a class=\"cta-heading\" href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/Atticus\" alt=\"Click here to see it in action\">\r\n                            <h3>Formatting Has Never Been Easier<\/h3>\r\n                            <\/a>\r\n                        \r\n            <p>Write and format professional books with ease. \u00a0Never before has creating formatted books been easier.<\/p>\n            <a class=\"offer-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/Atticus\" alt=\"Click here to see it in action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Click here to see it in action<\/a>        <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-greek-and-latin-epigrams\">Greek and Latin Epigrams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The word epigram is derived from the Greek word for inscription. In fact, in Ancient Greek times, they inscribed short poems on funeral urns, statues, and headstones. The Hellenistic epigram is perhaps the most well-known, as it became its own literary genre during that period of history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while the epigram poem is still recognized today, I've revised my definition to include the modern epigram, which doesn't necessarily have to be in verse form. <strong>But those epigrams not in the form of short poems are usually denoted by some sort of wit, humor, or satire.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-epigram-examples\">Epigram Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, I give you a wide range of epigrams. Like other literary devices, epigram norms have changed since the days of ancient Greece. So to fully understand the epigram, <strong>I have included everything from classic to modern examples.<\/strong> You'll also see several epigrams from the same author. Certainly, some writers have excelled at creating memorable epigrams throughout history. And chances are you'll recognize at least one famous epigram below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.\u201d <\/p>\n<cite>-Oscar Wilde<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cLive simply, so that others may simply live.&#8221;
