I have always been amazed by the power of aphorisms to convey truth, or a sense of truth, even when they might not be absolutely true: “A watched pot never boils,” for instance. But the art of an aphorism is to convince us of its veracity through its very pithiness, without focusing our attention on its actual meaning.
