Explanation:

An epigram is a short or rather brief statement that is witty, wise, or otherwise philosophical. An example would be Groucho Marx writing that "No one is completely unhappy at the failure of his best friend."

"Poor Richard's Almanack'' was a sort of calendar that Benjamin Franklin published on a yearly basis to enable him promote his printing business. It contained many witty epigrams such as, “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead” and “Lost Time is never found again.”
