- An epigram is a sentence that is like a saying or a proverb.
- It is usually short, to the point and witty.
- An epigram is easy to remember.
- This epigram ‘To believe is to know that everyday is a new beginning’ is witty because it plays on the ideas of ‘believe’ and ‘know’ and also on ‘everyday’ and ‘new’.
- This is because there is a big difference between believing something and actually knowing it.
- Also, ‘everyday’ suggests regular, daily, common, normal things. However, ‘new’ means something fresh.
- So, these are contrasting ideas, but when they are put together well, they form a witty epigram.
- Epigrams come in handy when one wants to express an idea in an impressive manner.
