Copyright

The name Aphorisms Galore!, the "AG" logo, and the slogan "Feed Your Wit" are trademarks of Wastholm Media. The entire site is copyrighted, and all rights to it belong to Wastholm Media. This includes, but is not limited to, the selection, categorization and presentation of aphorisms; all graphics and layout features; and all editorial or instructional text published throughout the site. It does not, however, include the individual aphorisms themselves -- they are of course the property of their respective authors. Nor does it include messages published by visitors in the various forums -- these messages remain the property of their respective authors, but Aphorisms Galore! and Wastholm Media hold a non-exclusive right to use them, in full or in part, anywhere on the site or in promotional campaigns.

The font used in headings, navigational tools and various other places is called Blue Highway and was created by Ray Larabie. A package containing some styles of this font can be downloaded for free from his site Larabie Fonts. A richer set of styles is available in the "Deluxe" package (which will cost you a few dollars, but it's worth it).

Normally, aphorisms are considered too brief to be individually copyrighted and can therefore be used quite freely, but there are exceptions. The most important such exception that I am currently aware of is Ashleigh Brilliant, who actively and successfully defends his copyright as applied to each of his aphorisms (or, as he calls them, epigrams). Aphorisms Galore! has requested and received Mr. Brilliant's explicit permission to include a number of his aphorisms in the collection.
