People who write or speak in aphorisms—short, memorable statements that express a truth or observation in a clever or witty way.
From 'aphorism' (from Greek 'aphorismos,' from 'aphorizein' meaning to define or distinguish) plus '-ist' (one who practices). Emerged in English during the Renaissance.
Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde were master aphorists—they could say in one sentence what takes other people a paragraph, which is why their quotes get shared millions of times on social media!
