English Synonyms and Antonyms
axiom
Both the axiom and the truism are instantly seen to be true, and need no proof; but in an axiom there is progress of thought, while the truism simply says the same thing over again, or says what is too manifest to need saying. The axiom that "things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another" unfolds in the latter part of the sentence the truth implied in the first part, which might have been overlooked if not stated. In the truism that "a man can do all he is capable of," the former and the latter part of the sentence are simply identical, and the mind is left just where it started. Hence the axiom is valuable and useful, while the truism is weak and flat, unless the form of statement makes it striking or racy, as "all fools are out of their wits." Compare PROVERB.

How to use axiom in a sentence?
It's that old axiom a Chicago alderman once shared with me: 'The higher a monkey climbs the pole, the more you can see his ass,' the better you do in this process, the more scrutiny you get. It's the price of success.
Lois McMaster Bujold, "Memory", 1996:
His mother had often said, When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. She had emphasized the corollary of this axiom even more vehemently: when you desired a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it.
The Ax-1 mission is very different from what you may have heard of in some of the recent — especially suborbital — missions. We are not space tourists, i think there's an important role for space tourism, but it is not what Axiom is about.
His mother had often said, When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. She had emphasized the corollary of this axiom even more vehemently when you desired a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it.
It is an old psychological axiom that constant exposure to the object of fear immunizes against the fear.
