Superfluous words simply spill out when the mind is already full.

Horace

Whatever you teach, be brief; what is quickly said, the mind readily receives and faithfully retains, everything superfluous runs over as from a full vessel.

Horace

A mind that is lively and inquiring, compassionate, curious, angry, full of music, full of feeling, is a mind full of possible poetry.

Mary Oliver

Everything that is superfluous overflows from the full bosom.

Horace

Full oft we see Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.

William Shakespeare

Dress not thy thoughts in too fine a raiment. And be not a man of superfluous words or superfluous deeds.

Marcus Aurelius

I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.

The aim of the poet is to inform or delight, or to combine together, in what he says, both pleasure and applicability to life. In instructing, be brief in what you say in order that your readers may grasp it quickly and retain it faithfully. Superfluous words simply spill out when the mind is already full. Fiction invented in order to please should remain close to reality.

Horace

Joshua K. Ingalls

To enter the U.K., you have to show your passport - whoever you are, wherever you're from - and you always will. That's because we have opted out of the passport-free Schengen area and have retained full control over who comes in.

Anna Soubry

It is the superfluous things for which men sweat, - superfluous things that wear our togas theadbare, that force us to grow old in camp, that dash us upon foreign shores.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

There are as many forms of advice as there are colors of the rainbow. Remember that good advice can come from bad people and bad advice from good people. The important thing about advice is that it is simply that. Advice.

Al Franken

As a young kid, I wasn't really interested at that stage - getting financial advice was far from my mind. I was focused on playing football. But I got onboard with this financial adviser and I heeded his advice, and that was my smartest money decision.
