Bertrand Russell Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: May 18, 1872 - February 2, 1970
Birthday: May 18
Death: February 2
There are some simple maxims which I think might be commended to writers of expository prose. First: never use a long word if a short word will do. So, if you want to make a statement with a great many qualifications, put some of the qualifications in separate sentences. Third: do not let the beginning of your sentence lead the reader to an expectation which is contradicted by the end.
