Are these sentences aphorisms?
"Beauty is only skin deep" or "Happiness can not be bought with riches" Is this an aphorism or some other rhetorical strategy. Can someone give me an example of an aphorism related to princesses?

Yes, they are aphorisms or "sayings." They hang around so long because there is a lot of truth in them. I don't know anything that refers to princesses, but there is "Put not your trust in princes." Shakespeare (as usual) and the Bible. It essentially means that the high-born are so different from us that we cannot relate to them on any meaningful basis.
