Der Aphorismus deckt sich nie mit der Wahrheit; er ist entweder eine halbe Wahrheit oder anderthalb.

 It's better to be quotable than to be honest.

 Someone who can write aphorisms should not fritter away his time writing essays. 
Einer, der Aphorismen schreiben kann, sollte sich nicht in Aufsätzen zersplittern.

 When a thing has been said and said well, have no scruple: take it and copy it. 
Quand une chose a été dite et bien dite, n'ayez aucun scrupule, prenez-la, copiez.
