Brevity Quotes

It is true that impatience, the mother of stupidity, praises brevity, as if such persons had not life long enough to serve them to acquire a complete knowledge of one single subject, such as the human body; and then they want to comprehend the mind of God in which the universe is included, weighing it minutely and mincing it into infinite parts, as if they had to dissect it!

Clarity and cogency can be reconciled with a greater brevity...it is slothful not to compress your thoughts.

Brevity is the soul of wit.
