Leaf by Leaf | APHORISMS: Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales by La Rochefoucauld (1665) @LeafbyLeaf | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
The first video in my new series on aphoristic literature. In counterpoise to my affinity for big books, I also love this compressed form. Though the term aphorism is attributed to Hippocrates, it is to La Rochefoucauld that we give the honor of the first notable collection in the western world.
