Aphorize

To express ideas in short, memorable statements called aphorisms; to speak or write in a concise, witty manner.

From Greek 'aphorismos' (a concise saying), derived from 'aphorizein' (to define or distinguish), combining 'apo-' (away from) and 'horizein' (to bound or limit). The verb form emerged in English in the 17th century to describe the act of creating such pithy statements.
