Epigrams are witty, often paradoxical statements that make a clever point. They tend to be more literary and satirical.
Aphorisms are more straightforward wisdom statements, often about how to live or work. They’re practical principles condensed into memorable form.

A Latin saying of Publius Ovidius Naso aka Ovid with English translation: Ut ameris, amabilis esto. If you want to be loved, be lovable. . .
Teaching with Publius Ovidius Naso aka Ovid using paraphrasing. 😉
If you want to be loved, be lovable.
If you want to be respected, be respectable.
If you want to be believed, be believable.
If you want to be trusted, be trustworthy.

A photo of a passage from the book "Epigrams" by Oscar Wilde. The line reads "The reason we are so pleased to find out other people's secrets is that is distracts public attention from our own."
From "Epigrams" by Oscar Wilde. Peter Pauper Press, Mount Vernon, New York, undated. The line is paraphrased from Wilde's play "An Ideal Husband."

The fun thing about using epigrams (short quotes at the start of a chapter) is that they quickly show contrasting outlooks. For example, I've used epigrams both pro and anti the main family in my WIP. Similarly, I've presented both humorous and horror views of the same event.

Image of text from RIlke's Letter to a Young Poet: "Perhaps all the dragons in out lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (1904), chapter 8; translation by Stephen Mitchell
