Results from Poor Man's College:

You know I say just what I think, and nothing more and less. I cannot say one thing and mean another.: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
Modern man's loss of a sense of being sinful doesn't spring from a feeling that he is inherently good. Rather, it springs from his feeling of being inherently ineffectual.: Brendan Francis
Men are punished by their sins, not for them.: Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
The wisest keeps something of the vision of a child. Though he may understand a thousand things that a child could not understand, he is always a beginner, close to the original meaning of life.: John Macy
We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.: Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993)
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.: Hans Hofmann

Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us; but simplicity and straight forwardness are. Write much as you would speak; speak as you think. If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual; if with your superiors, no finer. Be what you say; and, within the rules of prudence, say what you are.: Alford
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.: Pythagoras (582 BC - 507 BC)
I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.: Cato
