Anglican minimalist

The wise old owl sat in an oak.
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Wasn't he a wise old bird.


"Plurality ought never be posited without necessity." Wm of Ockham

"A man who uses a great many words to express his meaning is like a bad marksman who,
instead of aiming a single stone at an object, takes up a handful and throws in hopes he may hit."

Samuel Johnson
