Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.
Thomas Jefferson

have made this letter longer than usual because I have not had time to make
it shorter.
Blaise Pascal

writer does the most, who gives his reader the most knowledge, and takes
from him the least time.
Charles Caleb Colton
He
replies nothing but monosyllables. I believe he would make three bites of a
cherry.
Rabelais
If
any man will draw up his case, and put his name at the foot of the first page,

he must wait my leisure.
Lord Sandwich
If
you can't write your idea on the back of my calling card, you don't have a
clear idea.
David Belasco

composing, as a general rule, run your pen through every other word you have
written; you have no idea what vigor it will give your style.
Sydney Smit
If
it takes a lot of words to say what you have in mind, give it more thought.
Dennis Roth
It
is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they
burn.
