LOL.
Very good. No... but then, I wasn't going for an aphorism as such, just my favorite quote, and made an observation on his ability with aphorisms (in response to your earlier comments) along the way. (Wriggled out of that one right proper, didn't I?
)
Actually, there are a couple of things that either are, or are very close to aphorisms within that one. The first is perhaps a bit long... though I've seen some rather long phrases named in compilations of aphorisms ... the one that begins: "When any government..." and runs through "... holy the motives." Others are the terse "You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." (A favorite theme of Heinlein's, of course.)
And... "Prof. Worthington"? Oh, dear.... Er, could we just go with JD?
