Vice President Joe Biden, on the importance of brevity:
"And so language, the ability not only to master the ability to put your ideas into words succinctly on a platform to communicate ideas to your own people, it is even more impressive when you have the capacity to do that and communicate your ideas, especially as future business and political and moral leaders of the world in the language of the people to whom you are speaking."
Ah, succinctly on a platform. Couldn't have said it better myself.
