Netiquette Quote of The Day - The Ultimate Brevity - Via Netiquette IQ


My last post dealt with email and brevity, it only seemed appropriate to cite the most famous of all brevity quotations from Shakespeare

From Shakespeare's Hamlet, 1602:
LORD POLONIUS
This business is well ended.
My liege, and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
Why day is day, night night, and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night, day and time.
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief: your noble son is mad:
Mad call I it; for, to define true madness,
What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
But let that go.
