Description Always Say Less Than Necessary. I base my life in general around this statement. More is not always better. Keep it minimal ladies and gentleman.

This quote and passage is an excerpt from Robert Greene's Novel "The 48 Laws of Power."

Small Text reads:
WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO IMPRESS PEOPLE WITH WORDS, THE MORE YOU SAY, THE MORE COMMON YOU APPEAR, AND THE LESS IN CONTROL. EVEN IF YOU ARE SAYING SOMETHING BANAL, IT WILL SEEM ORIGINAL IF YOU MAKE IT VAGUE, OPEN-ENDED, AND SPHINXLIKE. POWERFUL PEOPLE IMPRESS AND INTIMIDATE BY SAYING LESS. THE MORE YOU SAY, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO SAY SOMETHING FOOLISH.

May I just say that I love your icon? Though, it reminds me of an eye. A camera lens has always done that with me.

Lol I looked it wrong. It should be Never Say More Than Necessary. Why should I say LESS THAN NECESSARY? lol. Fav remove already.

well done

May I suggest re-thinking the break up of words. The brain doesn't immediately register "LESS...THAN...NECESSARY".
Cheers.

chopsky In reply to P3MBY [2008-01-02 21:42:26 +0000 UTC]

how so?
I've seen many designs like this where the words are broken up, yet breaks in the correct parts of the words allow it to be read just as easilly.
Sorry, Im not trying to be harsh here. Just not fully understanding the purpose/point of it.

I didnt break them up with ease in mind. If it's difficult to read, then it's difficult. It makes you pay more attention to the piece in fact. No hard feelings, thanks for the comment

such a true statement. i also believe that when you say less, more people will listen when you actually do speak up.
