This one really needs to have been applied to itself, “short is good” is way better.
(also this was one of EY’s quotes in the original rationality quotes set, http://lesswrong.com/lw/mx/rationality_quotes_3/ )

Perfection is lack of excess.
Maybe it’s shorter in French?
Compare:

So, no.
New here, sorry for the redundancy. I probably should have guessed that such a popular quote had been used.
