   1. (Logic & Math.) A self-evident and necessary truth, or a
      proposition whose truth is so evident as first sight that
      no reasoning or demonstration can make it plainer; a
      proposition which it is necessary to take for granted; as,
      "The whole is greater than a part;" "A thing can not, at
      the same time, be and not be."
      [1913 Webster]

   2. An established principle in some art or science, which,
      though not a necessary truth, is universally received; as,
      the axioms of political economy.
      [1913 Webster]

   Syn: Axiom, Maxim, Aphorism, Adage.

   Usage: An axiom is a self-evident truth which is taken for
          granted as the basis of reasoning. A maxim is a
          guiding principle sanctioned by experience, and
          relating especially to the practical concerns of life.
          An aphorism is a short sentence pithily expressing
          some valuable and general truth or sentiment. An adage
          is a saying of long-established authority and of
          universal application.
