Word of the Week #6

Axiom 
noun
a statement or proposition that is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true

Local Politics textbook: "It is an axiom of politics that those who have power surrender it only when forced to do so by countervailing power."

My sentence: The axiom of eating an apple a day keeps the doctor away is an old wives' tale.
