I can't believe that I have to bang my
Head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.

You DO know that's from Woody Guthrie, Eric?

Eric,
Flattery will get you nowhere.

Sorry, Annette. It's short and simple, but it lacks down-home country charm, like Woody. How it equates being foolish with being complicated and being genius with being simple.
That's just plain poetic.
Now stop trying to steal my thunder!

A couple similar lines are credited to Einstein, too.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction..
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

That expression has been around since AT LEAST...the 70's . It is a business acronym that is used a lot especially in seminars, meetings, etc.
There's nothing new under the sun, but Brewcrews ad-lib words of wisdom here and on almost every post of his..are words I always listen to. He is a very smart guy.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
This is very similar to "Occam's Razor", with the addition that it warns about too much simplicity. It is also similar to what has become known as the "KISS principle": Keep It Simple, Stupid -- but never oversimplify.

Look, just semantics. Things can't be made simpler than possible.
It isn't possible.

As simple as we are able to make them possible, but not simpler than they actually are. He's talking about theory.

I've always liked the phrase
"Life is tough - get a helmet."
and another favorite:
"Nothing good ever happens outside a strip club at 2am."
