An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON NIKNAMES
No orator can top the one who can give good nicknames.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882, American poet, essayist)
A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man. It is a bugbear to the imagination, and, though we do not believe in it, it still haunts our apprehensions.
William Hazlitt (1778-1830, British essayist)
Titles are but nicknames, and every nickname is a title.
Thomas Paine (1737-1809, Anglo-American political theorist, writer)
