Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!

Rumi

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. Never use the passive voice where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Robert Higgs

I don't use the word 'pressure.' I use the word 'expectation.' I have very high expectations of myself. It starts with me.
