hughism

A wise saying that references old literature, typically unconnected to the conversation at hand or connects in an unexpected way.

Bob: I’ve been on a diet lately, but I’m thinking about quitting.

Hughist: “Do not fantasize about half hopes - Half a drink will not quench your thirst - Half a meal will not satiate your hunger -Half the way will get you no where” Khalil Gibran

Bob: I see, that was a wise Hughism
