Pithy Prose: The Wit & Wisdom of People Named 'W'
[ 3 ]
"Pithy prose" are quotations that say more in one or two sentences than could be expressed in a thousand-word treatise. They are like pouring a liter of liquid into a half-liter bottle. A few people (e.g. Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde) produced pithy prose, in their hundreds. Others only a handful, but, these too are well worth preserving. This article is dedicated to the wit and wisdom of people with surnames beginning with "W".

[ 23 ]
Someone once said, "Nothing is so simple that it can't be misunderstood." Thus, when conveying ideas and information, you should always aim for the lowest common denominator.
