We encounter quotes in our daily lives quite frequently. We rarely recognise them as quotes anymore because we got that used to them. They have become higly important in our society as worldly wisdoms, quotes and guidelines or principles. They can hardly be imagined away from our parlance or language usage.

Well known quotes are frequently used as dictums or saws. For instance, many text passages of the bible have been anchored in the daily and common language usage so that they hardly are felt as quotes anymore.

A quotation is the repetition of one expression as part of another one, particularly when the quoted expression is well-known or explicitly attributed (as by citation) to its original source, and it is indicated by (punctuated with) quotation marks.

A quotation can also refer to the repeated use of units of any other form of expression, especially parts of artistic works: elements of a painting, scenes from a movie or sections from a musical composition.

With quotes in the sense of dictums or saws usually we refer to a phrasing, which hit the nail on the head in a humoristic or original way. They save us from going back to complex and long explanations.

An aphorism denotes an original thought, spoken or written in a laconic and easily memorable form. The genre is also known as "maxim". The name was first used in the Aphorisms of Hippocrates later to other sententious statements of physical science and later still to statements of all kinds of philosophical, moral or literary principles.

The Aphorisms of Hippocrates were one of the earliest collections, although the earlier Book of Proverbs is similar.
