(1) The point of the apophthegm is that after drinking wine he deprived himself of water until he got ill, a point lost by the translation here.(2) the apophthegm ‘tomorrow is another day’(3) The interface between syntax and pragmatics may in general be summarized in a Kantian apophthegm : pragmatics without syntax is empty; syntax without pragmatics is blind.(4) His apophthegm , or maxim by which he is remembered, is: ‘All men are bad’ an unambiguous example of selection bias.(5) They are terse, allusive, disconnected, apothegmatic and hard to follow.(6) If anything he belabours the point overmuch in this play, so that, between the incessantly hammered-home moral point and his inability to speak in anything but apophthegms , one is quite tired out by the end.(7) At my request, one young Chinese woman (reared for most of her life in the United States) wrote the apothegm with only a moment's hesitation.(8) This apothegm seems close to (what I guess was) the intended spirit of his comment, though it can't be used directly as a predicate applied to ‘the spelling reforms’, thus requiring additional restructuring of the phrase.(9) As Jane's work got better and better - and readers noticed - my language and structure departed from its old habits and veered away from the kind of lyric that Jane was writing, toward irony and an apothegmatic style.(10) The sutra states the doctrine in a apophthegmatic form; the bhasya is a commentary on it; and the vartika is an elucidation of the commentary.(11) That should give you the flavor of this very enjoyable book; but I can't resist adding a couple of the apothegms that stood out to me.(12) The first half, therefore, is static, full of apothegmatic insights and reflections about human nature.(13) A sequence of beautiful frames will not make up a good movie and neither will a selection of apothegmatic lines picked up from a philosophy manual.(14) Whereas quotations with an apothegmatic feel are normally ascribed to Shaw, those with a more grandiose or belligerent tone are almost automatically credited to Churchill.(15) Although my grandfather had uttered many maxims or phrases of speech which have stuck with me, and which I am frequently conscious of as being maxims of action, or apothegmatic summaries of reasons for my behavior, what it most cogently gave me was a silent code of behavior toward which, in my most elevated moments, I live up.(16) But the text consists for the most part of apophthegmatic generalizations about the topic, about the superficiality, the confusion and ineffectiveness of social theory about ageing and old people, and about the fundamentally paradoxical and inconsistent situation of these old people in the social structure.
