Much wisdom often goes with fewer words.

Sophocles

Men who have much to say use the fewest words.

Florence Littauer

The wisdom of the Holy Spirit is much greater than the wisdom of the entire world. Within the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, silence prevails; the wisdom of the world, however, goes astray into idle talk.

Isaac of Nineveh

Living wisdom cannot be confined within words, but it can be hinted at through situations, much as a specific feature of an otherwise undistinguished landscape can often be discerned by following the path projected by a pointing finger.

Robert Svoboda

When grief is deepest, words are fewest.

Thomas Huxley

There are occasions when the simplest and fewest words surpass in effect all the wealth of rhetorical amplification.

George Henry Lewes

If you really understand something, you can say it in the fewest words, instead of thrashing about.

Paul Graham

I approach my interviews with the mindset of, exactly what are we selling? How can I sell it the hardest and the most effectively in the fewest words possible? And how can I make each word that I say mean as much as it possibly can? And I bring that perspective to the table because I used to focus a lot on the character that I had to play.
