[The Aphorism Factory is a project born out of my belief that the only sensible way to store information in a word overflowing with it is to make it collapsible like an umbrella - by compressing it in size while storing it and unfurling it open when you need to use it (You can download my white paper on the subject here.) Pithy aphorisms, in my opinion, represent the best way to do that. They discard the details of the moment and encapsulate the useful - so it can pass through the bottlenecks of memory, best-seller lists and short-attention spans to the time and place where it might be needed again.]
