Simple

There's no need to complicate matters.

The best solutions are usually the simplest.
The simple answer is almost always better than the complex one.
Don't use five-dollar-words when a fifty cent one will do.

Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
— Steve Jobs

I’m more impressed with BB King’s ability to make a single note sing than guitarists who speed riff. Simplicity that works takes more talent.

I’m more impressed with a teacher who distills truth without being reductionist, than the University prof who speaks in jargon and proprietary code.

Simple serves the reader. Complexity serves the writer. Simple is more generous.

There is beauty in simplicity because it’s easy to hide behind complexity.

It’s hard to hide behind simplicity.
