The Perfect Aphorism Would Achieve

Desire Is Wakeful; Satisfaction Dozes.

Sophistication Knows The Score, But Is Powerless To Change It.

Conscience Is The Moralized Form Of Self-absorption.

A Fastidious Taste Is Best Indoors, Away From Nature And The City.

To Be A Social Success, Do Not Act Pathetic, Arrogant, Or Bored. Do Not Discuss Your Unhappy Childhood, Your Visit To The Dentist,the Shortcomings Of Your Cleaning Woman, The State Of Your Bowels, Or Your Spouse's Bad Habits. You Will Be Thought A Paragon (or Perhaps A Monster) Of Good Behavior.
