If we are understood, more words are unnecessary if we are not likely to be understood, they are useless.
Charles II of England
Image
I think meaning is something that's really unnecessary in music, at least for me.
Tim Rutili
Image
I write every paragraph four times - once to get my meaning down, once to put in anything I have left out, once to take out anything that seems unnecessary, and once to make the whole thing sound as if I had only just thought of it.
Margery Allingham
Image
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, This is the best season of your life.
Wumen Huikai
Image
A leader should never risk their ability to make a difference by making an unnecessary point.
Andy Stanley
Image
When a system of oppression has become institutionaliz ed it is unnecessary for individuals to be oppressive
Florynce Kennedy
Image
I bought a pair of Carpe Diem boots, which were completely unnecessary and hideously expensive, but they make me feel quite fine and dandy.
Sean Pertwee
Image
Society must cease to look upon 'progress' as something desirable. 'Eternal Progress' is a nonsensical myth. What must be implemented is not a 'steadily expanding economy', but a zero growth economy, a stable economy. Economic growth is not only unnecessary but ruinous.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
I refuse to put the unnecessary strain of learning English upon my sisters for the sake of false pride or questionable social advantage.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
I wish I was a despot that I might save the noble, the beautiful trees that are daily falling sacrifice to the cupidity of their owners, or the necessity of the poor. The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
The Truth is that contentment is not found in having everything we think we want but in choosing to be satisfied with what God has already provided. The Truth is that those who insist on having their own way often end up with unnecessary heartache, while those who wait on the Lord always get His best.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Image
If one has belief, knowledge is lacking. If one has knowledge, belief is unnecessary.
David Eller
Image
Honor was never taking the easy way when it was also the wrong one. Never telling a falsehood unless the truth was painful and unnecessary, or a lie was necessary to save others. Never manipulating the truth to serve only yourself. Protecting the weak and helpless standing fast even when fear made you weak. Keeping your word.
Mercedes Lackey
Image
While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary.
Chinua Achebe
Image
Discipline isn't a dirty word. Far from it. Discipline is the one thing that separates us from chaos and anarchy. Discipline implies timing. It's the precursor to good behavior, and it never comes from bad behavior. People who associate discipline with punishment are wrong: with discipline, punishment is unnecessary.
Buck Brannaman
Image
dating you would be like a series of unnecessary root canals interspersed with occasional makeout sessions.
John Green
Image
I considered myself liberated long before it became the fashion. First I liberated myself from debilitating habits, and went on to free myself of combative, aggressive thoughts. I have also cast aside any unnecessary possessions. This, I feel, is true liberation.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Ecstasy is our very nature, not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look so tired, because misery is real hard work to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against the nature.
Rajneesh
Image
All unnecessary vows are folly, because they suppose a prescience of the future, which has not been given us.
Samuel Johnson
Image
We are ignorant of things necessary, because we learn things superfluous and unnecessary
Richard Baxter
Image
I wanted to analyze how unnecessary it is to collapse a heroine into one specific mold, to give them all the same sparkly fashion, the same tiny figures, and the same homogenized plastic smile.
David Trumble
Image
Civilization means, above all, an unwillingness to inflict unnecessary pain ... those of us who heedlessly accept the commands of authority cannot yet claim to be civilized men.
Harold Laski
Image
All that a good government aims at... is to add no unnecessary and artificial aid to the force of its own unavoidable consequences, and to abstain from fortifying and accumulating social inequality as a means of increasing political inequalities.
