I like that kinds of aphorisms and one liners for many reasons.
Sometimes they are verbally brilliant, sometimes I'm amazed how many meanings can be put in a few short sentences. Sometimes they seems like perfect wisdom at first glance, but when you start peeling them you'll end up with interesting moral dilemmas.

Sometimes they are simply, plain wise and go to the very core of human morals, ethics...

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! Some kill their love when they are young, And some when they are old; Some strangle with the hands of Lust, Some with the hands of Gold: The kindest use a knife, because The dead so soon grow cold. Some love too little, some too long, Some sell, and others buy; Some do the deed with many tears, And some without a sigh: For each man kills the thing he loves, Yet each man does not die.”  ― Oscar Wilde
