Video Phone Aphorisms
These short video clips are what they are: little low resolution video clips, out of the pocket capturing, video (seeing) whithout having a proper video camera.
APHORISM [aphorism] , short, pithy statement
of an evident truth concerned with life or nature; distinguished from
the axiom because its truth is not capable of scientific demonstration.
Hippocrates was the first to use the term for his Aphorisms, briefly stated
medical principles. Note his famous opening sentence: "Life is short,
art is long, opportunity fleeting, experimenting dangerous, reasoning
difficult."
