Annotation: This article examines the social and educational significance of
aphorisms. By analyzing 50 well-known aphorisms and surveying students, the study

awareness, and encouraging personal development. The findings suggest that
aphorisms are effective tools in education, fostering reflective thinking and ethical
understanding among young people.
