An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON BEARDS
There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.
Jean Cocteau (1889-1963, French author, filmmaker)
If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790, American scientist, publisher, diplomat)
A beard signifies lice, not brains.
Greek Proverb (Sayings of Greek origin)
He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and He that hath no beard is less than a man.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616, British poet, playwright, actor)
In England and America a beard usually means that its owner would rather be considered venerable than virile; on the continent of Europe it often means that its owner makes a special claim to virility.
Rebecca West (1892-1983, British author)
