Being Wordy Is Easy. Being Concise Is Hard

“If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.”

—Blaise Pascal

Addendum (1/14/2015):

“If you’d like me to speak for five minutes, I’ll need a month to prepare. If you’d like me to speak for 20 minutes, I’ll need two weeks. But if you’d like me to speak for an hour, I’m ready right now.”

—Woodrow Wilson
